According to the groups state Ethics Commission reports, $11,039 was paid to "contract labor" but the identity of the person or persons who received the salaries is not listed on the reports.

In addition to contract labor, Raise Oklahoma shelled out $1,250 for rent, which included a $250.00 rent payment on July 1, the day after Murphy announced Raise Oklahoma didn't have the necessary 117,000 signatures to place the proposal on a state-wide ballot.
