Justin Amash the libertarian from Michigan who has been called a disruptive force in the U.S. Congress will be challenged by a Michigan businessman in a republican primary. Amash, one of the soldiers in Ron Paul's "Revolution" only had $164,000 cash on hand when he called upon his supporters to help boost his balance at the end of the third quarter reporting period.
Brian Ellis, who will challenge Amash came out swinging.
In his announcement, Ellis hit Amash on a number of votes in Congress, including twice voting “present” on a bill that would have defunded Planned Parenthood, also voting “present” instead of supporting the Keystone XL pipeline and voting against the House budget.
“I will advance conservative solutions by voting to balance the budget, reduce the tax burden, expand American energy sources, and defend the right to life and our Constitution,” Ellis said in a statement. [POLITICO]
