Ron Paul endorses state Rep. Amash for US House
CASCADE TOWNSHIP, MI
U.S. Rep. Vern Ehlers, R-Grand Rapids, is retiring and has
endorsed lawyer Steve Heacock as his successor.
Amash is from Kent County's Cascade Township, near Grand Rapids.
The libertarian-leaning Paul said in a statement Monday that
Amash is "one of the most principled young leaders" he's seen in
a generation. He says Amash stands for lower taxes and more
freedom.
Other Republican primary candidates include state Sen. Bill
Hardiman of Kentwood and Harvard University graduate student and
Air Force veteran Bob Overbeek of Wyoming, Mich.
