And this time, he's brought some high–profile friends to the event.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz appeared with Iowa Congressman Steve King and Senator Chuck Grassley earlier Monday night at Western Iowa Tech.
The event at Western Iowa Tech was an opportunity for Cruz to preach his message, of limited government in a fairly conservative part of the state.
Congressman Steve King introduced the Texas Senator, praising Cruz's stance against things like Obamacare and the Iran Deal, but stopping short of fully endorsing him.
Cruz says one thing sets him apart from the 15 other candidates seeking the Republican nomination.
"As I looked at the other candidates, senators, governors, people, I like and respect. I did not see a whole lot of candidates that were likely to energize and mobilize and bring together those millions of conservatives who had been staying home," said Ted Cruz.
Cruz also spoke with the media before the event, and had plenty of nice things to say about current Republican front–runner Donald Trump.
"I am glad that he is running, I think that his campaign has been enormously beneficial for my campaign. The biggest reason is his campaign has framed the central question of this election as who will stand up to Washington," said Cruz.
Cruz says that while he's glad Trump is running, he feels he is a better choice than the billionaire to be the GOP's nominee.
Cruz says if he's elected, on his first day he'll rescind all of President Obama's executive orders, order a federal investigation of Planned Parenthood, end religious liberty persecution, and cancel the Iranian Nuclear Deal.
Great laundry list.
I believe that Senator Cruz is the closest person to Ronald Reagan that we have seen in years.
Heads up:
Ted will be on Hannity tonight.
I think he actually surpasses Reagan in some ways.
I do, too!
Would Reagan have done something like this?
This, so American workers can train themselves right out of their jobs.
We get to see him tonight in Burlington, IA. Can’t wait. We saw Bobby Jindal a few weeks ago and he was terrific.
