We’re ready for a presidency that will restore respect for our Constitution and bring people together. I’m excited and honored to be taking these first steps toward serving Americans of every background as president.

Rep. Amash was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican during the Tea Party tidal wave in 2010. He became a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus. . .
