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.”

SAYS HE’S WILLING TO LISTEN TO McCASKILL’S IDEAS ON STATE BUDGET

AS SOON AS SHE TAKES ACTION ON BEHALF OF MISSOURI TAXPAYERS

Jefferson City, MO – State Representative Allen Icet issued a stinging rebuke Wednesday to Senator Claire McCaskill’s claim that Republicans in the Missouri General Assembly were attempting to “have it both ways” on federal stimulus money. Icet, the only conservative candidate for Missouri Auditor, responded to McCaskill’s charge with a letter pointing to her reckless spending, and urging her to take action against the free-spending ways of President Obama and her liberal allies in Washington.

“My advice,” wrote Icet, “(1) balance the federal budget just as we do every single year in Missouri, (2) take cap-and-trade off the table; (3) kill the current iteration of “reform” and instead allow the states wide room to experiment with free market approaches to health care; and (4) take a stand next time President Obama insists on raising the federal debt limit.”

“After you have completed those four tasks,” he continued, “we will be eager to hear how you would suggest balancing the Missouri state budget. Until then, I’m afraid you just don’t have the credibility to give advice on balancing the state budget and protecting Missouri taxpayers.”

McCaskill is supported by Icet’s opponent in the Republican Party. In 2001, his opponent donated $500 to her campaign for Missouri Auditor. In 2006, his opponent failed to vote for her Republican opponent, Jim Talent, in McCaskill’s race for the United States Senate despite the fact that it was the most-watched race in the country at the time.
