Paul Taps House GOP Troublemakers

“While other presidential contenders have thus far been sluggish in soliciting help from Capitol Hill,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) “has already enlisted some of Congress’s leading rabble-rousers to assist his White House run,” National Journal reports.

“Paul will officially launch his campaign Tuesday in Louisville, before embarking on a four-day tour through the first four states—Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada— on the GOP nominating calendar. During the launch, or soon after, the senator is expected to announce endorsements from a host of House Republicans who will help his campaign in some capacity. Among them: Reps. Justin Amash of Michigan, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Raul Labrador of Idaho, and Mark Sanford of South Carolina.”
