We have our First Declared GOP Candidate for 2016

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) is running for president. 

In a radio interview this week, the Republican lawmaker told a New Hampshire station that he was in the state “because right now I’m running for president,” according to The New York Daily News. 

The visit was King’s second of four trips to the traditional home of the nation’s first presidential primary.
