Ted Cruz Statement on Colorado Results

Cruz Wins Colorado
Cruz Campaign Sweeps All 34 Delegates,

HOUSTON, Texas – After a sweeping victory in Colorado, Presidential candidate Ted Cruz issued the following statement:
 
“Today was another resounding victory for conservatives, Republicans, and Americans who care about the future of our country. Utah, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and tonight’s incredible results in Colorado have proven this: Republicans are uniting behind our campaign because they want a leader with real solutions who will bring back jobs, freedom, and security.
 
“This election is about the hope that our children can still have a more promising landscape of opportunity than generations past. It’s about bringing together Americans from all backgrounds who know that we will be stronger, more prosperous, and infinitely more free if we return power in Washington back to the people. So that Americans are free to create better jobs, live and worship freely, and once again proudly defend ‘the last best hope of earth.’
 
“Thank you, Colorado, and we ask moms and dads, students and retirees across this country to join us so that together we make this election a turning point for the nation.”

"People of color have a deeply vested interest in what Bernie Sanders brings to us in this election," Belafonte begins.

Garner continues, "people like Michael Brown, Sandra Bland and my father Eric Garner."

"They're not just hashtags and trending topics. But these are mothers and fathers, sons and daughters," King says.

"Bernie Sanders sees all of me. He sees all of you. He sees us a whole people, as a whole country," Sarsour declares. "That's why I'm voting for Bernie Sanders."

California Assembly Republican Leader Chad Mayes Endorses John Kasich for President

California Assembly Republican Leader Chad Mayes Endorses John Kasich for President
 
Today California Assembly Republican Leader Chad Mayes announced his support for Gov. John Kasich for President and joined the Kasich for America California leadership team.
 
Said Mayes, "John Kasich's proven record of supporting job creation, balancing budgets and bringing people together around solutions that lift everyone is exactly what Californians deserve from their leaders. Governor Kasich's smart, commonsense brand of conservatism is a good fit for those of us fighting on behalf of middle class families struggling in California and proves he's the only Republican who can defeat Hillary Clinton in November. I'm looking forward to working with the team to get the word out to voters."
 
Since 2014, Mayes has represented California's 42nd Assembly District, which encompasses portions of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. After only 10 months in office, his colleagues elected him Republican Leader, a role in which he negotiates with Governor Jerry Brown and legislative Democrats on behalf of his caucus. Assemblyman Mayes is a passionate advocate for conservative policies that lift people out of poverty. As a member of the respected Little Hoover Commission, Mayes is working to develop reforms that make government more efficient and effective.
 
Said Kasich, "It's an honor to receive the support of Republican Leader Chad Mayes, a real change agent in the California Assembly. As Republican Leader he has fought tirelessly for policies that spend taxpayer money wisely while helping people who are hurting to get back on their feet. I'm thrilled to welcome him to our team and look forward to his contributions."
