State Senator Duey Stroebel to Chair Cruz Wisconsin Leadership Team

Wisconsin Conservatives Rally Behind Cruz for President
State Senator Duey Stroebel to chair Cruz Wisconsin leadership team

HOUSTON, Texas - Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced his Wisconsin state leadership team. State Senator Duey Stroebel will chair the Cruz Wisconsin Leadership Team along with co-chairs State Representatives Dave Craig, Bob Gannon, Andre Jacque, Jesse Kremer, Dean Knudson, and Adam Neylon.
 
Senator Stroebel is a conservative State Senator and small business owner.  Duey is a lifelong resident of the 20th Senate District, and built his small business from the ground up, creating good-paying jobs and giving back to his community to make it – and Wisconsin – stronger.
 
"As we continue our progress on our fifty-state strategy, I am pleased to announce our Wisconsin leadership team led by State Senator Duey Stroebel," said Cruz. "He heads a group of Badger State leaders who are helping to coalesce strong conservatives around our campaign and make our team very competitive going into the April 5th primary.  I look forward to working with Duey and each of our dedicated team members."
 
“I am proud to be leading the effort in Wisconsin to elect Senator Ted Cruz the next President of the United States,” said Sen. Duey Stroebel. “Our nation is truly at a tipping point.  We are facing record levels of debt, a stagnant economic recovery, a smothering dependence on government, a weakening of the family unit, and the spread of radical Islamic terrorism.  After seven years of failed leadership under President Obama, we have no room for error in who we elect as our next commander-in-chief.  That is why I am taking on this important challenge.
 
“We have been blessed with a talented and diverse group of presidential candidates,” Stroebel continued. “But in my mind, there is only one individual who I know with absolute certainty will enter the White House and has the courage to make the tough decisions. As a former Supreme Court clerk, Texas Solicitor General, and now United States Senator, Sen. Cruz is the one candidate that fully appreciates how the very concept of liberty is under assault.  This assault must end.  I plan on working tirelessly with my co-chairmen and Wisconsin’s liberty focused grassroots activists to deliver Wisconsin for Sen. Cruz and to ultimately elect him our next President.”

Ted Cruz Issues Statement on Justice Antonin Scalia

CRUZ: Today our Nation mourns the loss of one of the greatest Justices in history
Cruz issues statement on Justice Antonin Scalia's passing

HOUSTON, Texas -- Presidential candidate Ted Cruz issued the following statement regarding the passing of United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia:

"Today our Nation mourns the loss of one of the greatest Justices in history – Justice Antonin Scalia. A champion of our liberties and a stalwart defender of the Constitution, he will go down as one of the few Justices who single-handedly changed the course of legal history.

"As liberals and conservatives alike would agree, through his powerful and persuasive opinions, Justice Scalia fundamentally changed how courts interpret the Constitution and statutes, returning the focus to the original meaning of the text after decades of judicial activism. And he authored some of the most important decisions ever, including District of Columbia v. Heller, which recognized our fundamental right under the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms. He was an unrelenting defender of religious liberty, free speech, federalism, the constitutional separation of powers, and private property rights. All liberty-loving Americans should be in mourning.

"Justice Scalia’s three decades on the Court was one of President Reagan’s most consequential legacies. Our prayers are with his beloved wife Maureen, their nine children, and their precious grandchildren."
