Amash not campaigning for re-election to his seat in Congress

A top Amash aide reiterated this week that the West Michigan congressman idled his congressional campaign back in February. She also indicated Amash does not intend to seek the party’s nomination at the Michigan Libertarian Party’s convention in Gaylord this weekend.

“He hasn’t been campaigning for any office and doesn’t plan to seek the nomination for any office,” Amash adviser Poppy Nelson said by email.

Amash himself confirmed he isn’t seeking re-election to his House seat in a tweet Thursday night.
