Two donors have switched sides in the republican primary for Missouri’s Lt. Gov. race.

Retired businessman Rex Sinquefield will contribute $385,000 to Sen. Brad Lager’s campaign and another businessman has recently contributed $250,000.

A spokesman for Sinquefield confirmed his contribution Monday.  In addition to his donation, Sinquefield will host a fundraiser in St Louis for Lager on July 12th.

Meanwhile, campaign finance reports show businessman David Humphreys recently donated $250,000.

Both Sinquefield and Humphreys had written large checks to Kinder as recently as last year, when it appeared Kinder would run for governor.

Humphreys dropped his support of Kinder after media reports that Kinder repeatedly visited a strip club in the 1990s. Kinder later decided to seek re-election.

Campaign finance reports also show that local contractor Herzog Contracting Corp. has contributed more  than $250,000 in the last year.

The Contributions were made to the Citizens for Brad Lager committee.
