Ted Cruz Announces Endorsement of Michael Geer, Pennsylvania Family Council President

Ted Cruz Announces Endorsement of Michael Geer, Pennsylvania Family Council President:
“I Will Be Voting for Ted Cruz”

Houston, Texas - Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of
Michael Geer, president and CEO of Pennsylvania Family Council*, a leading pro¬-family
organization in the Keystone state.
 
“Pennsylvania has served as a beacon to the world for those seeking religious liberty and
freedom of conscience,” Geer said. “I am confident that Ted Cruz will continue diligently
working to protect religious freedom and rights of conscience.”
 
“I consider protecting innocent human life from conception until natural death to be of
paramount importance; a core function of government,” Geer continued. “I am confident
that a President Ted Cruz will fervently work to protect the sanctity of human life: I do
not have that same level of confidence in the other candidates. And finally, since mothers
and fathers together in marriage provide a vital environment for strong families and
thriving children, strengthening families is critical in building and maintaining a
flourishing society. I am confident that Ted Cruz understands this dynamic and will
promote policies that make for stronger families.”
 
“I am honored to have the support of Michael Geer,” Ted Cruz said. “Pennsylvania
families deserve a president who puts their needs, security, and prosperity above special
interests and political correctness. As president, I will defend our First Amendment
liberties and take on the Washington bureaucracy that holds families back from achieving
the American dream.”  
 
In addition to his leadership at the Pennsylvania Family Council, Michael Geer serves on
the board of several national and Pennsylvania organizations, and is known as a leader
and spokesman on life and family issues, school choice, Christian worldview, and
protecting and expanding religious freedom, in Pennsylvania and beyond.

Ted Cruz Accepts Invitations to Debate in Indiana

Ted Cruz Accepts Invitations to Debate in Indiana

HOUSTON, Texas – Today, the Cruz for President campaign accepted two invitations to participate in GOP debates in Indianapolis this week: one from WRTV and another from Tony Katz of WIBC radio.

"Today marks forty-six days since the last Republican debate,” said Cruz. “Forty-six days. A month and a half. The Democrats have debated. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have showed the respect the voters are due by subjecting themselves to the scrutiny of the voters. Indeed, the Democrats are talking about scheduling a second debate, and yet Donald Trump continues to cower in Trump Tower, afraid to defend his positions. The reason he's been afraid to do so is he has no answer when he's asked how to bring jobs back to America. He has no answer when he's asked how to keep America safe from radical Islamic terrorism. This is a serious time. The American people want and deserve a serious leader focused on jobs, freedom, and security. That's exactly what I will be and what I will do as President.”

Ted Cruz for President Announces Pennsylvania Leadership Team and County Chairs

Ted Cruz for President Announces Pennsylvania Leadership Team and County Chairs

HOUSTON, Texas - Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced his Pennsylvania Leadership Team consisting of statewide leaders, county chairs, and delegate candidates from across the state.
 
The team is led by State Chairman Lowman Henry, Chairman and CEO of the Lincoln Institute of Public Opinion Research, Inc., a nonprofit public policy foundation based in Harrisburg, PA. Also providing invaluable insight to the team is Vonne Andring, who has worked on campaigns of every level throughout the state.
 
"We have an exceptional team of grassroots leaders in Pennsylvania that is helping to coalesce conservatives and unite the Republican Party around our campaign," said Cruz. "They have been tireless advocates for freedom and restoring the Constitution, and I deeply appreciate their dedication to helping our campaign throughout the Keystone State."  
 
“Since Pennsylvania’s delegates are unbound and elected on the same ballot as the presidential candidates, having a strong, devoted grassroots team is very important here,” said State Chairman Lowman Henry. “We have been working tirelessly to ensure that the voters know which delegates will be supporting Ted Cruz at the convention, and are devoting time and effort to make sure they are elected.”
