Today, Michigan Congressman Dan Benishek endorsed Marco Rubio for president. With the support of Congressman Benishek, and conservative leaders from across Michigan, Marco has the grassroots support to be successful in Michigan's March 8 primary.

Congressman Benishek has represented Michigan's 1st congressional district since 2011. In Congress, he serves on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs. As a general surgeon, Benishek has been one of the leading voices against Obamacare, and has been an advocate for Veterans and the care they deserve. 

"As a doctor and representative, my first priority has always been to meet the needs of hardworking Michigan families and workers," said Michigan Congressman Dan Benishek. "Over the past seven years, the president has failed to address the challenges facing our nation, from ensuring our veterans get the care they have earned, to strengthening our economy. We cannot afford more of the same by electing Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. What we need now is a leader who understands the needs and priorities of Michigan families and workers: keeping our nation secure and growing our economy from the ground up.  Marco Rubio reached out to me and I believe he is qualified and ready to solve the challenges before us. I am proud to endorse him for president and look forward to helping him win in Michigan."
