Ally of Ron Paul and Rand Paul Launches Super-PAC

John Tate from the Campaign for Liberty, currently chaired by former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, will take over Americas Liberty PAC, a new super-PAC.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., weighed in on Tates new assignment. Tate headed up Ron Pauls presidential campaign in 2012 and was the national political director for his 2008 presidential bid.

John will be missed, said Rand Paul on Wednesday. Ive known John since before I even ran for the United States Senate. He played a crucial role in bringing top-level staffers onto my 2010 run for the Senate including my political director, Doug Stafford. John has been someone Ive leaned on ever since.

No one in Washington, D.C., has Johns track record of experience and effectiveness fighting for limited government principles. He was tea party before tea party was cool, Rand Paul added.

The senator from Kentucky insisted Americas Liberty PAC would play a major role in American politics.

Super-PACs play a major role in todays politics, so I cant tell you how happy I am to know theres now a major super-PAC out there fighting for the limited government principles our liberty movement cherishes, Rand Paul said. I believe with my friend John at the helm, Americas Liberty PAC will establish itself as not just a critical ally of the tea party, but a feared political force in Washington, D.C. something the liberty movement desperately needs.
