Detroit Free Press, wrote an editorial endorsement... 16 days before the primary!
3rd District
(Most of Kent and all of Barry and Ionia Counties)

Although just 30, the energetic Amash, a Libertarian-leaning conservative, has in one term in Lansing shown himself to be not just ambitious but an innovative and conscientious lawmaker with a solid grasp of the political process.
An attorney, Amash refuses to vote for any bill he has not read. He will make the best case for Republicans this fall to hold the seat occupied for a quarter century by former President Gerald Ford.
