2018 MO Senate race: on Principles & Values

Josh Hawley: Under investigation for mixing public funds with campaign

The complaint cited a report by The Kansas City Star in October that out-of-state campaign consultants who would go on to run Hawley's Senate campaign gave tasks to taxpayer-funded staff in the attorney general's office. The consultants led meetings with official staff during work hours in the state Supreme Court building in Jefferson City. The arrangement raised concerns among some of Hawley's employees about the mixing of politics with public business.

"We have a human trafficking crisis in our state and in this city and in our country because people are willing to purchase women, young women, and treat them like commodities. There is a market for it. Why is there? Because our culture has completely lost its way. The sexual revolution has led to exploitation of women on a scale that we would never have imagined, never have imagined," Hawley told the crowd.

"We must deliver a message to our culture that the false gospel of 'anything goes' ends in this road of slavery. It ends in the slavery and the exploitation of the most vulnerable among us. It ends in the slavery and exploitation of young women."
