It is unclear who is funding the Liberty Alliance USA, because instead of filing political action committee paperwork with the Missouri Ethics Commission, it has filed paperwork with the Missouri secretary of state, meaning it is not subject to campaign disclosure requirements.

A political action committee called Liberty Alliance has existed since 2017, when Greitens was defending his “right-to-work” law against union efforts to repeal it.

That PAC spent more than $650,000 in 2017 and 2018, with nearly $193,000 going to Graves’ Kansas City law firm, Graves Garrett, for legal services, according to a review of Missouri Ethics Commission records.

“Liberty Alliance USA is a new organization that is not affiliated with any PACs,” Vas said.

Liberty Alliance USA lists its owner as Cornerstone 1791, a nonprofit formed Feb. 13 by William Greim, the brother of Graves’ law partner, Eddie Greim.

Since its debut at the State Fair, Liberty Alliance USA has started tweeting and advertising on social media.

When asked how the group would influence policy, Vas said “Liberty Alliance USA intends to promote and influence policy in order to implement real conservative reform to make Missouri a better place to live and raise a family.”
