Snyder chooses Brian Calley for running mate

LANSING A person close to the Snyder campaign told The Associated Press Tuesday that Rep. Brian Calley of Portland will be announced Wednesday as Snyder's choice. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the campaign has not yet announced Calley's name.

The formal announcement is expected to take place at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. Snyder has a late afternoon town hall meeting planned there.

Snyder campaign spokesman Bill Nowling would not confirm or deny that Calley had been chosen. He added, however, that Snyder "is going to make a special announcement in Grand Rapids tomorrow."
