Snyder Wants to be Model for the GOP

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) — “the understated, self-described ‘nerd’ and former CEO — is making one thing clear as he prepares for a challenging re-election race next year: He intends to be part of the national conversation underway about the Republican Party’s future,” the AP reports.

“The first-term governor used his role as host of a biennial state GOP conference that drew more than 1,000 state and national figures — including three potential presidential candidates — to cast himself as a problem solver with a governing philosophy that can fix the nation’s ills.”

Said Snyder: “Hopefully, I’m a reasonable model for people to look at across the country.”
