The Missouri-Kansas state SEIU labor union has endorsed Barack Obama according to the group's leader Lenny Jones.
Illinois' SEIU has already endorsed Obama, while Iowa went for John Edwards.
Obama did get some good news also from Iowa where Rep. Mark Smith, D-Marshalltown endorsed the Illinois senator on Wednesday.
“He comes from the great state of Illinois, near Iowa, and has a good sense of what issues are important to people in the heartland,” Smith said.
Responding to news of Smith's support, Obama said in a press release, "Rep. Smith will play in instrumental role in building our grassroots support in Marshalltown and throughout Iowa. We’re proud to have his support in our effort to challenge the conventional thinking in Washington, D.C. and transform our nation.”
