Julianne Thompson and Rachel Little Join Previously Announced Louie Hunter To Bolster Cruz’s GA Campaign
HOUSTON, Texas — Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced that two key leaders in Georgia would be joining the Cruz campaign after being previously allied with Governor Scott Walker. The addition of Julianne Thompson and Rachel Little, along with Louie Hunter who previously announced his support for Cruz, means that all three of Walkers former state co-chairs will now be helping to organize the state for Cruz.
Thompson is one of Georgias most active Republican leaders. She is the former co-chairman of the Atlanta Tea Party and co-founder of the Capitol Coalition of Conservative Leaders, Georgias largest political coalition, and a former press secretary of the Georgia Republican Party.
Little is the immediate past Chairman of the Gwinnett County Republican Party and recently received the Georgia Republican Party Chairman of the Year Award. She was recognized as the Woman of the Year by the Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta and served as Mitt Romney and Herman Cains Georgia state co-chair in 2012.
Louie Hunter is a former Cobb County Commissioner and the Director of the Georgia Center-Right Coalition.
We are encouraged and excited to see the caliber of support flowing to the Cruz campaign, said Cruz national political director Mark Campbell. Its evidence that Cruzs record of being the only consistent conservative in the race is having a significant impact on the grassroots. Julianne, Rachel and Louies experience, knowledge, and network will give our team a sizeable advantage in Georgia and we are thrilled to have them on board.

I’m a Cruz guy and always was. He F’d this one up. And you did not address the issue. Do you, like a liberal, FEEL that hiring people that are GOPE to the core and attacked you fully is a good plan?
Moron?
Thanks for the mention.
That makes sense.
Really? Only former GOPe get to play?
Nonsense indeed.
When candidates drop out, their local workers and supporters will find another candidate to support. The facts are that Cruz won’t pick up workers and supporters except from people who have dropped out. I.e., you only build support by defeating other candidates and looting their workers and supporters.
It’s called campaigning, winning supporters, and winning an election.
If you think Cruz F’d up, then you don’t understand elections at all.
President Romney will be happy to hear that.
Even if he was inclined to bring them on board those perennial political consultants have probably been told “You’ll never work in this town again” if they sign on to Cruz’s campaign. The Bushtablishment hates and fears him, more so I think than Trump. Besides, my impression is Cruz won’t allow himself to waste money or be let consultants lead him by the nose. Walker and Cruz may be around the same age but there’s a vast difference between their life and political experience levels. Walker knows Wisconsin, but Cruz was involved in high level national politics for years before he went into the game as a candidate on the State level in Texas.
Just an observation...adding the crowd totals from the 20 photos in the Cruz poster comes up with a total attendee figure that is less than just one of Trump’s events...
One of the things I’ve said about the Cruz team all along is that he’s built teams in every state with dedicated amateurs combined with professionals.
The amateurs are loyal, dedicated and trustworthy while the professionals can prevent amateur mistakes and they know the players in the states.
I don’t love former MI GOP chairman Saul Anuzis but he is a pro and knows what he’s doing. He’s currently in the Virgin Islands with Rafael Cruz.

As campaigns shut down activists will gravitate to other candidates just as voters do. Help is always welcome, there’s never enough.
Who said that? You're weird, but you can go to Georgia and GOTV. I'm sure they would welcome you on Team Cruz. Any organization needs people on the ground. Stop complaining and go volunteer for Cruz.
Read Ted Cruz's A Time for Truth and you will know that he is more than qualified, with a lot of political experience.
OK you got 3 choices. Gop/Dem Scratch. If you hire Dems, you get libs. If you hire GOPE you get liberals.
So where else do you hire to not get liberals?
Because if you want to try selling that GOP campaign staff working for a USCOC stooge are rabid pitbull right wingers, well, good luck with that. And if you want more of the same )as Mitch/Jonbon/Romney (Who walker hired some staff from BTW, do that.
If you want people you can trust, vet GOP staffers is not what you will get. Sorry that reality proves it every 2 years. but it does.
At any rate, it'll be better to have them inside the tent peeing out, than outside peeing in. No?
I hadn’t seen this before yesterday but its Ted Cruz speaking at a conference about defeating jihad. Its not really political and its not campaign rhetoric but it is spectacular clarity about the threat we face.

Would you trust someone to be in your operation at any level whose judgement is so bad that they worked to elect a man who sold out his country to illegal labor for what? Campaign Cash?
Thats a moral and political compass that is broken at all levels.
Now if it were someone like Dayspring and his ilk, then yeah, I’d agree with you. But this is Georgia, and you have got to have some locals there on the ground to organize things.
I watched this video. It shows that Ted Cruz is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Am I to seriously believe that so few people exist in a southern state that are genuinely conservative, that there are none with the needed state level skill set?
We may as well close the doors and crown Trump now then and accept his social liberalism and forget this conservative pipe dream.
