St. Louis, MO (KSDK) - Mid-century pop singer and actor Pat Boone is voicing his support for Rep. Todd Akin for U.S. Senate.

Though not from Missouri, Boone routinely performs in Branson and across the state.

Pat Boone received the Conservative Political Action Conference lifetime achievement award in 2011.
