Mike Huckabee Receives Endorsements From Missouri Elected Officials

Support is 'More than Double Received by Any Other GOP Candidate'

December 18, 2007 -- Little Rock, AR - Mike Huckabee announced endorsements from 27 elected Missouri officials today - a number representing more than double the number of endorsements for any other Republican presidential candidate in Missouri.

The endorsements come as new Rasmussen polling released Tuesday measuring head-to-head match-ups showed Huckabee edging Hillary Clinton in Missouri, and polling better than his GOP rivals.

"I am grateful for the endorsements of these legislators and the wealth of experience they bring to my campaign," Huckabee said, "These officials will be an incredible asset for the campaign in Missouri."

Twenty-three state representatives and four state senators are publicly supporting Huckabee.

The campaign is building its grassroots organization in anticipation of helping Huckabee win the critical Missouri primary on February 5th.
