Huckabee announces 31 legislative backers, headlines rally in Creve Coeur
Jo Mannies

Here’s the list of the 31 Missouri legislators who announced their support for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who’s a Republican candidate for president.

He was in Missouri to campaign, while awaiting the results of Florida, where he ended up in fourth place. (Huckabee said in an interview that he wasn’t surprised by his Fla. finish, and that he expected to do much better on Feb. 5 in southern and Midwestern states.)

We’ll link to the P-D story on Huckabee’s visit, and the activities of other Republican hopefuls, when it’s posed.

In the meantime, here’s the list of the pro-Huckabee legislators:

Missouri Faith and Family Chair, Senator John Loudon

State campaign chairman, Sen. Delbert Scott

Representative Jim Avery

Representative Brian Baker

Senator Matt Bartle

Representative Mark Bruns

Representative Wayne Cooper

Representative Cynthia Davis

Representative Ed Emery

Representative Barney Fisher

Representative Ward Franz

Representative Steve Hunter

Representative Will Kraus

Senator Brad Lager

Representative Scott Lipke

Representative Bob May

Senator Rob Mayer

Representative Brian Munzlinger

Representative Bob Nance

Representative Brian Nieves

Representative Darrell Pollock

Senator Chuck Purgason

Representative Don Ruzicka

Representative David Sater

Representative Rodney Schad

Representative Charlie Schlottach

Representative Tom Self

Representative Jason Smith

Representative Mike Sutherland

Representative Don Wells

Representative Dennis Wood

Representative Brian Yates

The release emphasizes some of Huckabee’s key views:

” ‘I want to turn the nonsense of our tax system to the common sense of what’s often called the FairTax,’ Huckabee said.  He also discussed being pro-life was well as his stance on homeland security, terrorism and the economy.”
