Schweich to kick off Midwest Republican Leadership Conference

(From the Missouri Republican Party)

The Missouri Republican Party announced Wednesday; Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich will open Midwest Republican Leadership Conference (MRLC) in Kansas City.
 "Highlighting the successes of Conservative leadership in the Midwest, Auditor Schweich is the ideal official to kick off our conference," said Ed Martin, Chairman of the Missouri Republican Party. "With the Auditor race the only statewide race in 2014, having our candidate address this conference will be a great experience."
 State Auditor Tom Schweich is a fifth-generation Missourian and a graduate of St. Louis County Public Schools, Yale, and Harvard Law School. Schweich began his professional career at the law firm of Bryan Cave LLP, where he has practiced law for over 20 years, focusing on government contracts, corporate internal investigations and audits, litigation, and commercial disputes.
 Prior to Schweich’s elected service, he served as Chief of Staff to three United States Ambassadors to the United Nations. There, he helped uncover the Oil for Food Scandal, and helped root out corruption at the UN. He served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Acting Assistant Secretary of State at the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in the State Department (INL). At INL Schweich oversaw the activities of 4,000 people in over 40 countries with an annual budget of $2.5 billion.
 Since taking office in 2011, Auditor Schweich continues to lead the State Auditor’s office with the experience, independence and tenacity he promised Missouri voters on the campaign trail. For the first time ever, audit reports include a grade (excellent, good, fair and poor), providing clear, simple insight.
 MRLC will be held from September 13-15, at the Westin Kansas City at Crown Center. MRLC will offer Midwestern Republicans the opportunity to hear and learn from leaders from both the Midwest region and surrounding areas. Please visitwww.midwestrepublicans.org for more information.
