GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) - In announcing victory Tuesday night in his run for Michigan's third congressional district, Republican Justin Amash told supporters he would work with people from the other side, but he wouldn't forget his principles.
Amash, a first-term state representative from Cascade Township, ran on a platform of limited government and more personal freedom.
In his victory speech at Kent County GOP election night headquarters, he said the party should work to bring more Democrats and independents into the party to "transform this state" and "transform this country."
The congressman-elect thanked his predecessor, U.S. Rep. Vern Ehlers, calling him a model of integrity. Ehlers did not seek re-election.
