With voters in the winner-take-all state of Arizona set to vote next Tuesday, presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) picked up a big endorsement out of the Grand Canyon State.
U.S. Rep. David Schweikert, a fellow Republican, represents Arizona's Sixth Congressional District and was first elected to Congress. He is a recognized reform leader in Washington, D.C.
"My top priority in Congress has always been to do what the Washington insiders simply refuse to do, and that is to reduce the size and cost of government and save our nation from the crushing debt that the Washington politicians have placed on the backs of each and every citizen of our nation," he said. "Throughout the never-ending battles to do this, Ted Cruz has always been a principled leader fighting to do the very same thing. With a federal debt that is quickly approaching an unfathomable $20 trillion, our country's future economic growth and prosperity are in grave danger unless we elect a principled conservative who is truly committed to stopping the out of control spending and borrowing that has led us to where we are today.
"It's clear that Ted is the conservative leader that we need as our next president, and my wife, Joyce, and I are proud to give him our strongest endorsement. In the upcoming Arizona presidential preference primary, Ted is the clear choice for voters who want a conservative president who is truly committed to fixing the mess in Washington."
Cruz said he was "thrilled" to have Schweikert's endorsement. He said called the congressman a "passionate fighter for liberty" who has been fighting what he has termed the Washington Cartel.
"He has worked to rein in Obama's lawlessness, repeal Obamacare and stop the president's illegal executive amnesty," he said. "David is a strong addition to our team and I am thankful for his leadership fighting on issues that are most important to conservatives."
Can’t use the term Christian Conservative when you have Glenn “the mormon” Beck and his violent behavior as Ted’s sidekick.
I rather enjoy the prospect of the GOPe forced to choose between Trump and Cruz.
The coalition includes:
Former Missouri Republican Sen. Jim Talent
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy
Former Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams
Retired Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin
Frank Gaffney Jr. President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy.
How much is Hillary paying him to do that?
Day late, dollar short.
The GOP will support Cruz for the most part because at least they know what he’s about......Trump isn’t consistent so there’s no telling what he will or won’t do... The adage “Comfort with the familiar”.
Sorry, thought you might have wanted to know.
Ted’s dead baby, Ted’s dead...
Ted won’t be president and he will not be re-elected to Senate. He chose the low road and has run a very sleazy campaign to the point now where a large block of Republican voters not only would never vote for him, they would vote for Clinton to keep him from winning. He defines the term “unelectable”.
Do you see Dewhurst trying to run for the Senate again in 2018? Or maybe Wendy Davis?

You joined FreeRepublic just to tell me that?
Sen Cruz is the most conservative candidate since Reagan.
We can’t lose him.
He is so principled that he was against ethanaol subsidies in Iowas, and he STILL won!
