Wasn’t Cruz against the subsidy too and actually won in Iowa?
Yes. Ted Cruz won Iowa caucuses in 2016 despite opposition to ethanol mandate. And Cruz was endorsed by Rep. Steve King from the heart of ethanol producing NW Iowa, and also the endorsement of State Sen. Randy Feenstra, Steve King’s successor in the same CD.
Cruz advocated for a five year phase out.
Yup. Hence Ron wanting to end it coupled with he knows burning our food as fuel is stupid.
