Fresh off of winning his party's nod for U.S. Senate, Kurt Bills said he's not leaving his support of Ron Paul behind.

The freshman state representative says he "absolutely" is still backing Republican presidential candidate Paul.

"I think you stick with him until he drops out," Bills said.

If Paul leaves the race and Romney gets endorsed, Bills said he'll make the switch.

"We will support the endorsed candidate and if that's Mitt Romney. That's Mitt Romney and I'd love to travel around the state with him, too," he said.
