On April 8, 2025, municipal elections were held in Jefferson City and Cole County. The council race in Jefferson City's Ward 4 revealed defects in Missouri campaign ethics laws. The legislature may have had good intentions when it changed the law to prevent newly registered lobbyists from using their campaign contributions for personal gain. But it’s unlikely it intended to allow lobbyists who run for office and their campaign treasurers to manipulate the campaign finance reporting rules to create an unfair advantage over their opponent and deny voters the right to know who is supporting their campaign.
