ASHLAND, Va. (AP) — Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky headlined a rally Wednesday for Senate candidate Ed Gillespie and House candidate Dave Brat.

Paul, who has been weighing a potential 2016 presidential bid and campaigning for other Republican candidates across the country, told supporters at a small auditorium in Ashland that Gillespie and Brat would help repeal the Affordable Care Act and rein in federal spending.
