Rand Paul To Open Campaign Office In San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) -- Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul is staking a claim deep in the heart of one of California's least GOP-friendly cities.

The Kentucky senator says he's offically opening a campaign office at 934 Howard Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. His office will share the location with a shared-space business incubator called StartupHouse.

Sen. Paul hopes to become the tech leader among the 2016 candidates, which is why he chose the Bay Area for the office.

On Saturday, Paul will attend a forum in San Francisco aimed at millennial voters where he plans to unveil his campaign's technology team.

Sen. Paul says if he wants to have any chance at winning the general election he needs to compete in California.
