St. Charles County Republican Leaders Back Akin

St. Charles County Republican leaders have declared their support for Congressman Todd Akin, about two weeks after several high level Republicans have called for him to leave the Senate race. 

Members of the St. Charles County Republican Central Committee passed a resolution of support for Akin.

“Every one of us has said things that we realize afterward weren’t how we meant them to come out,” said , the newly elected chairman of the committee in a press release. “While we all wish Todd had taken the time to choose his words more carefully, we also realize that the meaning behind his words, as well as his actions over more than twenty years in public service are pure and sincere. The Republican Party needs to stop kicking Todd Akin when he’s down, and focus their energy on kicking Claire McCaskill out of Washington.”
