LINCOLN- Governor Pete Ricketts has joined forces with Missouri's largest Republican donor to work at defeating former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens in his GOP Senate primary.

Greitens once headlined an event for Ricketts, who now donated $250,000 to a PAC devoted to defeating Greitens.

Gov. Ricketts said the former Missouri Governor was unfit for the governor's office and would be unfit to be a senator.

Show Me Values, a political action committee formed June 2, is the biggest spender in the Missouri Senate race that has now cost almost $34 million. Its first full disclosure report, covering June, shows it raised $1.35 million during the month.

Rex Sinquefield, who has contributed more than $41 million to Missouri candidates over the past decade, contributed $1 million, with Ricketts giving $250,000. The remaining $100,000 was contributed by August A. Busch III, former CEO of Anheuser-Busch.

The PAC has spent $3.6 million on television ads hammering Greitens by highlighting child and spousal abuse allegations made by Greitens’ ex-wife, Sheena Greitens, and accusing him of being too cozy with China.
