When state auditor candidate Tom Schweich (R) announced former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R) was coming to the state in support of his campaign, we could only infer that Romney's endorsement was imminent.
It appears Romney has now officially endorsed Schweich, according to a statement from Schweich's campaign.
Romney's Free and Strong America PAC is backing Schweich, also noted on the PAC's website.
Missouri Republican candidates are among the first the PAC has announced and include endorsements for Rep. Roy Blunt's Senate campaign, Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, Rep. Sam Graves for re-election and Ed Martin in his race for Missouri’s 3rd Congressional District.
Romney's PAC has so far only backed six other candidates across the country from outside Missouri, including Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), who isn't actually up for re-election until 2012.
Romney is expected to attend a fundraiser for Schweich in St. Louis on April 27.
