Nixon gets $50K from UAW days after veto on right to work

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Democratic Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has received a $50,000 campaign contribution from the United Automobile Workers.

The donation posted in campaign finance documents this week came on June 10, less than a week after Nixon vetoed a contentious right-to-work measure.

Calls to Nixon’s campaign treasurers were not immediately returned Saturday morning.
