FreedomWorks PAC announced its endorsement of Tom McMillin for U.S. Congress in Michigan’s eighth district. After a thorough review of the candidates in the race, FreedomWorks PAC believes Tom McMillin is the clear choice for Michiganders looking to preserve individual freedom. McMillin will go up against Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop in the August 5 primary.

McMillin served three terms as a state representative, where he worked to block Michigan’s ObamaCare exchanges, stop Common Core, and lower taxes. He understands the importance of protecting individuals from federal overreach, and sponsored a bill to restrict government drone use and prosecute NSA officials for lying about alleged illegal spying.

FreedomWorks PAC President Matt Kibbe commented, “Voters have a clear choice between another establishment candidate that will toe the party line, and Tom McMillin, a man who will stand up for civil liberties and fight for his constituents. McMillin doesn’t just identify the problems in government, he takes action to come up with proactive solutions. He would undoubtedly be a valuable thought leader for liberty in the House.”

Great! Anyone in Michigan have a feel of this race as it stands?

His opponents events looked like ghost towns this weekend. The establishment is in bad shape, methinks!

Great! Anyone in Michigan have a feel of this race as it stands?

A lot of people, including our local county party chair who I'd consider local establishment, were waiting on State Senator Joe Hune to make a decision to run or not. Hune is running for re-election instead. Some of the Hune supporters are backing Bishop and some of them are backing McMillin. I think the "Hune Republicans" who generally have some tea party leanings in ideology but do not always support the tea parties themselves will be deciding the race. A lot of them don't really know either candidate.

Livingston party leadership is generally staying out of the primary. I called up the county chair and he said "We're backing the winner."

Thanks. Seems like the establishment isn't all-in on opposing McMillin which should give him more than a good shot here.

Another one for the taking here + establishment support rather than sabotage. Moneybomb coming up, folks.
