HOUSTON, Texas - Presidential candidate Ted Cruz continues to build out a strong, national organization, today naming State Treasurer Ron Crane as the Idaho State Chairman and former State GOP Chairman Norm Semanko as Idaho State Director for the Cruz for President Campaign. Idaho hosts its GOP primary on March 8, 2016.
"Idaho is an important state for us, and with Ron serving as our Chairman and Norm as our State Director, we gain two of the most respected conservatives in the state," Cruz said. "With Ron's and Norm's leadership, we will continue building a winning team in Idaho heading into their Primary Election."
"Idaho is a state that I believe Ted Cruz will win next March," Treasurer Crane said. "People in Idaho and across our nation are desperate for a leader who will fight for us and protect our freedoms. Ted Cruz has a proven track record of not wavering or ducking the tough battles. He stands with all Idahoans against Washington's reckless spending and infringements on our rights."
"I am honored to join Ted Cruz and his presidential campaign team," Semanko said. "He is a tested and proven conservative leader who will fight to protect the individual liberties of all Idahoans. Republicans in Idaho are eager to support a consistent and courageous leader who will be a champion for our working families, retirees, and veterans."
As State Treasurer, Mr. Crane is responsible for management of both the state and local government investment pools with a daily balance in excess of $3.2 billion dollars.

That’s how it’s done. The all-important ground game.
Go baby go.
Ted Cruz, is conservative even when no one is watching and he is doing the work even when no one is paying attention. Polls are fickle and reflect polarity, votes count and determine elections!
