Rubio Campaign Announces Michigan Leadership Team

This morning, the Marco Rubio for President campaign announced Marco's Michigan Leadership Team. Today's announcement comes on the heels of an endorsement from Congressman Dan Benishek of Michigan's first congressional district. Marco continues to build on his strong organization that will help him win the nomination and defeat the Democrats in November. 

"Republicans across Michigan are rallying behind Marco Rubio because he is the only candidate who can unite our party and win the White House in November," said Michigan House Majority Floor Leader Aric Nesbitt. "He is a true conservative with bold ideas for our country's future, and I look forward to working with this great team to energize voters as we approach the March 8 primary."

"Marco Rubio is gaining momentum in Michigan because his optimistic vision of a New American Century in which more Americans than ever before will be able to live the American Dream resonates with real people," said former Former Republican National Committeewoman Sharon Wise. "I am proud to offer him my full support and am encouraged by the growing support for his campaign here in Michigan."

"Marco is working hard every single day to earn the support of voters across the country, and we are thrilled by the outpouring of support for our campaign in Michigan," said Micah Johnson, Regional Spokeswoman for Marco Rubio for President. "As the only campaign that is organized in all 50 states, we are ready for the long haul, and our strong team in Michigan will play an important role in nominating Marco and helping him win the White House in November."
