Christmas came early for Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul as the Ron Paul 2008 campaign opened offices in Michigan on Saturday. In what supporters termed, "The Great Ron Paul Michigan Move-In," offices were readied for business, with grand openings planned for December 27, after the holidays.
Two offices are opening simultaneously in Detroit and Flint. The Detroit office is at 19005 Telegraph Road, near Seven Mile Road in the 14th congressional district. In Flint, the office is within the 5th congressional district, at 3080 Miller Road.
"We are excited to be readying the offices for our grand opening on December 27th," said Paul Michigan state coordinator Leslie Roszman. "They are located in two areas where Dr. Paul enjoys a large amount of grassroots support."
"Dr. Paul's message of freedom, peace, and prosperity resonates strongly through southeast Michigan, and these office openings are steps towards victory on January 15th," added Roszman.
The Paul campaign has also staffed up significantly in the past week, appointing Pete Mackin and Jeffery Palmer as Upper Peninsula and Northern Michigan coordinators, respectively, in addition to multiple other hirings.
Michigan's presidential primary will take place on January 15, 2008.
