U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement in response to the news about the passing of Missouri State Auditor Tom Schweich:

“Today, Missouri lost a man who was a true public servant through and through. Tom Schweich, a fifth-generation Missourian, is someone who would fight day and night to better our great state. Tom will always be remembered as a true conservative and a loving and devoted father and husband. He will be deeply missed by his colleagues, and friends, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time.”
