U.S. Representative Justin Amash of Michigan, supported by the small-government Tea Party, defeated a Republican primary challenger backed by the nation’s largest business lobby.
Amash, 34, beat Brian Ellis, 54, who was aided by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is working to send Republicans to Congress who support an agenda that includes reauthorizing the U.S. Export-Import Bank and avoiding government shutdowns.
