Names Phill Wright as State Chairman and Former State Rep. Chris Herrod to serve as campaign coordinator
HOUSTON, Texas - Today, Presidential candidate Ted Cruz continued building a strong, national organization by announcing his Utah Leadership Team, consisting of some of the Beehive State's top conservatives. Utah GOP Vice Chairman Phill Wright will serve as state chairman for Cruz, while former Utah State Rep. Chris Herrod will serve as campaign coordinator.
"I am thrilled to announce such an outstanding group of courageous conservatives leading our campaign in Utah," Cruz said. "All across the West and throughout America, we are gaining momentum by having principled, conservative voters unite behind us. Thank you to Phill and Chris for their leadership, along with all our grassroots supporters and volunteers in Utah who are building us a winning team."
"We are excited to have a presidential candidate in Ted Cruz - who truly 'gets it' and understands what the middle-class is going through," Phill Wright said. "In a world of danger and uncertainty, we need a president who has the courage to stand for truth and who will defend and support our Constitution, while maintaining a strong military to protect our interests, citizens and allies. Ted Cruz is that man."
"Among conservatives in Utah and across this nation, this campaign is coming down to who conservatives can trust," Herrod said. "Ted Cruz has demonstrated throughout his career that he can be trusted to take on the Washington Cartel and fight for our shared values. That is why so many Utahans are joining our team each day."
