LANSING, Mich., Jan. 3, 2018 – Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser released the following statement regarding Justice Bob Young’s withdrawal from the US Senate Race:

“I am thankful to Justice Young for his dedicated service to our state. I have known Bob for years, serving as Chair for his first Supreme Court campaign. Bob knows Michigan, has been elected 3 times statewide, and will continue to be a tremendous asset to the Party. Despite not running for office himself, Bob has assured me that he will be actively involved in the 2018 elections. He is a principled conservative, our Party is lucky to have him, and I look forward to working with him. I am thankful for his leadership, and proud to call him a friend.”
