The US Senate has approved an amendment to ensure that military personnel will be represented in the Census. The amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act was introduced by Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, and was approved by unanimous consent.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul isn’t denying reports that he’s interested in a 2016 presidential run. The website Politico quotes the Bowling Green Republican as saying “I’m not going to deny that I’m interested.” Paul says he thinks the GOP has to go in a different direction because the party isn’t winning national elections.
