1980

Justin A. Amash (born April 18, 1980) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the U.S. representative for MI's 3rd congressional district from 2011 to 2021.

He was the second Palestinian-American member of Congress.

Justin Amash was born on April 18, 1980, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

He is the second of three sons born to Arab Christian parents who had immigrated to the United States.

1998

He first attended Kelloggsville Christian School in Kentwood, then Grand Rapids Christian High School, from which he graduated in 1998 as class valedictorian.

2002

He then attended the University of Michigan, graduating in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics with high honors.

2005

Amash then attended the University of Michigan Law School, graduating with a Juris Doctor in 2005.

After graduating from law school, Amash spent less than a year as a lawyer at the Grand Rapids law firm Varnum LLP.

He then became a consultant to Michigan Industrial Tools Inc. (also known as Tekton Inc.), a company his father founded and owns.

2008

He worked for his family's business for a year before being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2008.

Amash's two brothers also have positions at Michigan Industrial Tools.

Glenn Steil Sr.., the incumbent state representative for Michigan's 72nd House District, was unable to run for reelection in the 2008 election due to term limits.

Amash ran in the Republican primary and defeated four other candidates before defeating Democratic nominee Albert Abbasse in the general election.

During his initial tenure in the State House, Amash sponsored five resolutions and twelve bills, none of which were passed.

While in the State House, he began using his Twitter and Facebook pages to report his floor votes and explain his reasoning and had a government transparency page on his website that would allow people to view the members and salaries of his staff.

2010

Amash represented the 72nd district in the Michigan House of Representatives for one term before being elected to Congress in 2010.

On February 9, 2010, Amash announced that he would run for the Republican nomination for Michigan's third congressional district and the next day incumbent Representative Vern Ehlers announced that he would not seek reelection.

During the primary campaign he was endorsed by Betsy and Dick DeVos, the Club for Growth, Representative Ron Paul, and FreedomWorks PAC.

In the Republican primary he defeated four other candidates and shortly before the general election he was named as one of Time magazine's "40 under 40 – Rising Stars of U.S. Politics".

During the campaign he advocated politics supported by the Tea Party movement and defeated Democratic nominee Patrick Miles Jr.. in the general election.

2012

The House Republican Steering Committee removed Amash from the House Budget Committee on December 3, 2012, as part of a larger party leadership-caucus shift.

He joined Representatives Tim Huelskamp and David Schweikert in a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner, demanding to know why they had lost their committee positions.

A spokesperson for Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia said that Amash, Huelskamp, and Schweikert had been removed for "their inability to work with other members."

Politico said that the three were "the first members pulled off committees as punishment for political or personality reasons in nearly two decades".

2014

Following the retirement of Senator Carl Levin it was speculated that Amash would run in the 2014 Senate election and Senator Mike Lee encouraged him to run, but Amash chose to run for reelection to the House.

Amash was endorsed by the fiscally conservative Club for Growth PAC, which spent over $500,000 supporting Amash in his Republican primary against former East Grand Rapids School Trustee Brian Ellis, who was endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and spent more than $1 million of his own money on the race.

After Amash defeated Ellis in the August primary, with 57% of the vote to Ellis's 43%, Amash was highly critical of Ellis and former Congressman Pete Hoekstra, who had backed Ellis.

2019

Originally a Republican, Amash left the GOP and became an independent on July 4, 2019.

He was the founder and chairperson of the Liberty Caucus and was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, which he left in June 2019.

Amash received national attention when he became the first Republican congressman to call for the impeachment of Donald Trump, a position he maintained after leaving the party.

2020

In April 2020 he joined the Libertarian Party, leaving Congress in January 2021 as the only Libertarian to serve in Congress.

A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Amash was born to Palestinian and Syrian Christian parents who had immigrated to the United States.

After high school, he studied economics at the University of Michigan, graduated from the University of Michigan Law School, and briefly worked as a corporate lawyer and consultant before entering politics.

Amash formed an exploratory committee to seek the Libertarian Party presidential nomination in the 2020 election, before announcing in May of that year that he would not run for president.

He did not seek reelection to Congress in 2020.

On February 29, 2024, Amash announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Michigan.
