Sen. Rand Paul is talking openly about his potential run for president, a campaign he plans to wage in 2016. And he's open about the role Silicon Valley will play in his plans.
POLITICO reports Paul will open an office in his home state and another in Silicon Valley, where he'll "add ties and presumably fundraising heft" among tech elites, who tend to run libertarian when engaging in politics at all.
A Paul for President bid already has endorsements from Sen. Mitch McConnell, the incoming Senate Majority Leader.
Nate Morris, an entrepreneur figure on Fortune's "40 under 40" list, has already been working as a "door opener" for Paul in California tech circles, the magazine reported.
