[4] Schweich had experience managing audits and was supported by Lieutenant Governor of Missouri Peter Kinder, former United States Attorney General John Ashcroft, former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney, four Missouri state senators, and two former United States ambassadors. [4] [5]
Schweich criticized Icet for taking trips and meals from lobbyists and for the fact that the state budget rose from $19 billion to $23 billion while Icet was chairman of the house budget committee. [4] Icet defended himself by saying that the trip he accepted was for educational purposes and by saying that most of the budget increases were due to increased federal spending and mandatory increases of things such as Medicare. [4]
In spite of Icet's support from most of the state legislators, Schweich was able to gain a fundraising advantage and bigger name endorsements. [4]
