Missouri

• NPM collected the signatures to qualify a gambling loss limits repeal measure for the ballot in Missouri, at a cost of $1,076,956.^[2]

There have been reports that the company refused to pay circulators for signatures already turned in for the Schools First initiative, whose drive NPM managed, if circulators were also carrying the Civil Rights petition. Albright said the client specifically requested that circulators for the Schools First Initiative not circulate the Civil Rights Initiative petitions at the same time.
