WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MI - Republican presidential contender Marco Rubio will campaign in Oakland County Wednesday, Dec. 9, to meet with supporters. A stop in Waterford Township is Rubio’s itinerary, his campaign said.

The rally takes place at 4:15 p.m. at the Barnstormers Flight Support Hanger No. 2 at the Oakland County International Airport, 6544 Highland Road.
