The Rand Paul for US Senate Exploratory has announced its newly formed Economic Council of Advisors. In an official statement by the Rand Paul camp:

Candidates for public office love to show off all the rich folks they have supporting them and money does seem to buy national office. The great irony of American politics is that just about everyone thinks money corrupts politics, yet money also seems to drive the news cycle.

But just maybe ideas might count for something.

The Rand Paul for US Senate Exploratory thinks big brains are as important as big wallets. So, today we are happy to announce our Economic Council of Advisors.
