Rand Paul is the first Republican presidential candidate of this cycle

Mick Mulvaney was elected in November, 2010, as U.S. Congressman
for South Carolina's 5th District. A lifelong Carolinas resident, he
attended Georgetown University where he graduated with honors in
International Economics, Commerce, and Finance and later attended law
school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a full
academic scholarship. Mulvaney completed his formal education at
Harvard Business School's OPM program in 2006.
Mulvaney has broad business experience across many fields.
After practicing law following graduating law school, he started
his

started a small homebuilding company. Mulvaney was also a minority
shareholder in a restaurant franchise company, and even owned and
operated his own restaurant. He has used his educational,
professional,
and business background to bring a focus on jobs, business, and the
economy to his work in Congress. Congressman Mulvaney currently serves
on the House Financial Services Committee as well as the House
Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
"I
am
honored
to have the support of Congressman Mulvaney in my run for
the presidency. Since taking office in 2010, Congressman Mulvaney and I
have grown to be personal friends, as we are both staunch defenders of
the Bill of Rights," Sen. Rand Paul said.
"I admire
his conservative leadership in the House of Representatives and
together, I know we can defeat the Washington Machine by restoring
fiscal sanity, the Bill of Rights, and regulatory restraint."
"I'm proud to endorse Senator Rand Paul for President. Rand has proven himself as a conservative outsider unafraid to take on the Washington establishment. I look forward to spending some time with him in South Carolina and working to spread his message of small government and fiscal conservatism. Rand is exactly the kind of leader we need in the White House," said Congressman Mick Mulvaney.
