I am proud to announce the endorsement of Ted Cruz for the open U.S. Senate seat in Texas.
There are several good candidates in this race, but we're endorsing the former Texas solicitor general for three important reasons.
First, Ted Cruz is the strongest conservative in the field.
We have spent a lot of time interviewing him and researching his record. He believes deeply in the principles of limited government, strong national defense, and traditional family values. Syndicated columnist George Will recently outlined his accomplishments in a piece titled "Ted Cruz, a candidate as good as it gets."
Second, Ted Cruz has the support of the grassroots in Texas.
He has earned the endorsement of many conservative leaders across the state and is winning straw poll after straw poll because of his clear and unwavering commitment to our nation's founding principles. He has also earned the endorsement of leading free-market organizations, such as the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks.
Third, we believe that now is the time for freedom-loving Americans to unite behind a single candidate. An establishment candidate with deep pockets will enter the race soon so conservatives must unite behind Ted Cruz to help him build the support he needs to win.
For these reasons, I hope you will join us today in supporting Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate in Texas.
Ted Cruz will fight for the principles of freedom that will restore America's greatness. He's someone who respects the U.S. Constitution and will work every day to honor his oath of office to support and defend it.
Winning this race will not be easy, but I'm confident we can do it if we all work together. The Washington establishment said Marco Rubio could not defeat Charlie Crist in Florida last year because he didn't have enough money. We proved them wrong then and we can do it again now.
Please make a contribution to Ted Cruz's U.S. Senate campaign today and forward this email on to your friends and family so they can do the same.
Together, we can retake the Republican Party, strengthen the U.S. Senate, and stop Washington from bankrupting our country. Category: Senate Races Tags: Ted Cruz David Dewhurst TX12 Tom Leppert
