Josh Hawley celebrated his most recent fundraising haul… by blowing $75,000 on a new car???
Josh Hawley has a new set of wheels. Courtesy of money funneled into his reelection campaign.The fist-pumping, quick-footed, anti-LGBTQ+ Missouri senator raked in a reported $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2024.
To celebrate, he went to his local Buick/GMC dealership and dropped almost $75,000 on a new vehicle, according to FEC filings.The Kansas City Star reports:One of Hawley’s higher ticket costs was a vehicle from a car dealership outside of St.
Louis. The campaign’s filing with the Federal Elections Commission did not disclose the make or model of the vehicle, but on the dealership’s website, the price tag is in the range of a GMC Yukon.Hawley’s campaign declined to comment on the car, but it could be an attempt to save money in the long run.
Statewide campaigns often put lots of mileage on vehicles and, rather than rent a car for each trip, it could help bring down the cost over the course of a long campaign.But not everything is as it seems.Hawley’s $2.5 million fundraising haul might look impressive at first glance.
