DETROIT, MI (AP)-- Kentucky Senator Rand Paul will attend a big Republican conference in Michigan in September.
The Michigan Republican Party says Paul will be at the 30th Biennial Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference on Mackinac Island. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal were previously announced as speakers, and additional guests will be announced later.
The conference is September 20-22 at the Grand Hotel. It attracts presidential hopefuls and brings together activists and candidates.
Paul, an eye doctor, is considered to be a possible presidential candidate in 2016.
Michigan GOP Chairman Bobby Schostak says Paul is an "influential voice" in the Republican Party.
