ICET DOMINATES STRAW-POLL AND EARNS KEY ENDORSEMENT AT STATEWIDE LINCOLN DAYS
Allen Icet’s campaign for Missouri Auditor gained serious momentum in a record-setting Statewide Lincoln Days this weekend in St. Louis. Icet, the only conservative in the Republican primary for Missouri auditor, dominated a straw-poll of Republican stalwarts conducted at statewide Lincoln Days by Survey Missouri, LLC, an independent pollster. Icet took nearly 90 percent of the votes in the straw poll, beating primary opponent Tom Schweich 87.31 percent to 12.69 percent.
Icet also earned the endorsement of the Missouri Republican Assembly. The MRA is a broad-based coalition of Reagan conservatives dedicated to tax cuts, tax reform, the right to bear arms, pro-life values, and the advancement of traditional Republican values. They support Republican candidates most likely to uphold conservative principles.
Icet campaign manager Keith Kirk said he was not surprised by the weekend’s events. “Conservatives overwhelmingly support Allen Icet,” said Kirk. “ Allen has conservative friends and supporters in every community in our state.”
“This campaign will be a true test of Missouri’s conservative values,” continued Kirk. That’s why over 200 conservative activist held a rally in support of Allen’s campaign this past Saturday afternoon. They came from all corners of our great state to support Allen’s values and his campaign. Come August, I think we’ll find that Missourians will proudly join in Allen Icet’s effort to bring fiscal sanity and common sense conservative values to the office of the Missouri Auditor.”
