McMillin Voices Support for Santorum

Rochester Hills lawmaker tells MIRS he thinks Santorum would do a good job.

MIRS, the Michigan Information & Research Service, reported today that Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, is supporting Rick Santorum for president.

This makes McMillin the third Michigan state lawmaker to openly support Santorum, the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania who has been campaigning here in Michigan in the days leading up to the Tuesday primary.

"My main reason is that I want a brokered convention," McMillin told MIRS. "But I also do think he'd do a good job as president."
