NILES - Not only has Governor Scott Walker and U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham been in Chicago this week, Friday, former Governor Mike Huckabee and Dr. Ben Carson will be in Tinley Park Friday, and Saturday, August 1, yet another presidential hopeful will be in the northern suburbs - U.S. Senator Rand Paul.
Senator Paul is the first of an array of Republican presidential candidates the Maine Township Republican Organization (MTRO) hopes to be hosting over the next several months.
"We have a large field of GOP presidential contenders - and ROMT has invited all of them to Maine Township," Char Foss-Eggemann, Maine Township Republican Committeeman said.
The rally - which will begin at 2:30 PM Saturday at the Royal Kitchen and Bath in Niles - is free and open to the public, but attenders will need to register online.
