Justin Amash
Justin Amash (born April 18, 1980 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is the anti-Trump Republican U.S. Representative from Michigan's 3rd congressional district. He is a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives. Amash's views are libertarian-leaning and his campaign received the endorsement of Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
Amash is known for standing up against the Establishment. The liberal-leaning Chamber of Commerce unsuccessfully sought to defeat him in his primary. On the other hand, he has also opposed conservative U.S. President Donald Trump, even calling for his impeachment.[1]
Amash has consistently defeated his opponents, in the primary and general election, by 20 points.
Extremely anti-Trump, in May 2017 Amash became the first politician of the GOP which called an impeachment against the President Donald Trump, which attracted virtually no support.[2]
