Rand Paul’s Austin Office Set to Open Monday

by Patrick Svitek
  
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is preparing to open the Austin outpost of his likely 2016 presidential campaign, a move that is expected to come Monday, according to sources familiar with the plan.  
The office will be housed in Capital Factory, the startup incubator in downtown Austin, one of the sources said. 
Paul will be in Texas’ capital city Sunday for an interview with Texas Tribune CEO and Editor-in-Chief Evan Smith as part of the South by Southwest festival. Paul is also slated to attend other public events this weekend in the city.  
Paul, who was raised in Texas and went to Baylor University, has been gradually building a presidential campaign-in-waiting in the Lone Star State. His political action committee has brought on board former Texas GOP chief Steve Munisteri and Austin-based digital guru Vincent Harris.
