Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder Endorses Rick Stream for
St. Louis County Executive

Today, Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder announced his endorsement for Rick Stream in Stream’s bid to become the next County Executive of St. Louis County.
“Rick is a trusted conservative leader with a well-documented history of bringing sound fiscal management policies and accountability to governing,” said Kinder.  “In the legislature Rick Stream is Chairman of the House Budget Committee. Unlike those in Washington, Stream led the efforts in tough economic times to balance Missouri’s budget every year without a tax increase.  As a result of Rick’s leadership Standard & Poor’s affirmed Missouri’s AAA credit rating, citing the state’s “very strong budget management framework…” Missouri is one of the few states to have an AAA Bond rating in the country. I know Rick will bring that same fiscal discipline to county government.  I am proud to endorse Rick Stream for St. Louis County Executive.”
Lieutenant Governor Kinder’s endorsement follows State Auditor Tom Schweich’s endorsement earlier this week.
