Her background in finance has proved useful: Quite at ease asking for large sums of money, Mrs. Cruz makes as many as 10 calls a day seeking the maximum contribution couples can make to the campaign.
"The $10,800 contributions is my lane," she said.
Inside the campaign, Mrs. Cruz has built a model that seems lifted from Wall Street, with donors labeled "investors" who are privy to "quarterly investor meetings" to discuss the "product."
She also helped recruit an important fund-raiser, Lila Ontiveros, after Ms. Ontiveros left Goldman Sachs.
At times, the dual role of Goldman executive and political spouse has attracted attention, tugging the firm’s name into contentious political debates.

They call everyday, very aggressive street beggars.
“Quite at ease asking for large sums of money”
What a rare talent this Heidi has. Most women are clueless in how to strip mine those around them for money./s
LOL!
“She also helped recruit an important fund-raiser, Lila Ontiveros, after Ms. Ontiveros left Goldman Sachs.”
Ahhhh yes, the time honored tactic of “leaving” Goldman Sachs.
Heidi Nelson Cruz: A Political Spouse Making Sacrifices
Oh, the poor dear. Almost no one else has to make the kinds of sacrifices Senators wives do.
Making sausage and raising dough are two things most don’t have the tummy for.
Moms milk, money, motivation, politicking makes folks do what they are driven to do.
She can send her donation to FR in small unmarked GUbamint bonds. No quid pro quo need apply.
Why is GOPe warming up to Trump?
I’ll throw this out there WTH...
This is about money. Trump wins the nomination and will not suck up all the good ol boy donor base in the general..
Does anyone doubt that those deep-pocket investors are told what their return on investment will be at those private meetings? And Heidi has an assistant for this from Goldman-Sachs?
The pile just keeps getting deeper.
I'm not at ease. Was Cruz drafting off Trump, Cruz planning to break up the bromance, and bring his support to Jeb?
Speaking of return on investment. Anyone have any idea what kind of “deals” Donald Trump is making these days? A
No. Bush was going to file birther suit against Cruz and then steal his delegates at the convention.
Notice that Reince Priebus is refusing to call Cruz a natural born citizen?
He’s part of the GOPE convention plot to strip Cruz’s delegates and give them to Jeb after Cruz is ruled ineligible.
About that scheme. If they do that, I fear that Chicago in 1968 by comparison would be a walk in the park.
“Quite at ease asking for large sums of money”
I wish I had the investment knowledge of Heidi. Her clients invest money in the stock market and bonds and other types of investment. She is used to dealing in large money amounts which makes her comfortable to speak in terms of large money “investments” to the Cruz campaign.
Her vocabulary is “investors” day after day. I can easily see using the term “investors” when speaking of donations to Cruz. They are “investing” their money to bring about returning the country to a constitutional government.
I have “invested” money in Cruz and will continue to do that and hope my investment pays off. I like the word, “investment”, rather than “contribution”.
“Was Cruz drafting off Trump, Cruz planning to break up the bromance, and bring his support to Jeb? “
This crossed my mind too. And Jimbo 123 posted a better reasoning than what I was thinking of on another thread.
Cruz needs to wake up, lose the arrogance and immediately pre-empt Priebus and Rove and their convention plot to strip his delegates.
AMEN!!
Well, if the wealthy investors are going to get a big return on that investment, that tells me all I need to know. Cruz has sold himself into political prostitution.
