Jeb Bush makes campaign stops across Michigan for Snyder, Land
Former Florida governor and possible 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush campaigned for GOP candidates across Michigan on Monday.
Bush spoke in front of hundreds of Republicans in Troy to cap off his visit to Michigan. He urged GOP faithful to show up to the polls in November for U.S. Senate nominee Terri Lynn Land and Governor Rick Snyder.
"This last three weeks, I hope you do everything you can to elect, reelect Rick Snyder as your new governor. Rick, we love you. We want you to win," Bush said as he was Snyder, who later called Bush an "outstanding mentor" to him, specifically on education policy.
More big national political names are expected to visit Michigan in the coming weeks. Their goal will be to fire up the party base and get out the vote in November.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to campaign for Democrats Mark Schauer and Gary Peters later this week.
