New Hampshire State Senator Kevin Avard Endorses Ted Cruz for President

New Hampshire State Senator Kevin Avard Endorses Ted Cruz for President

HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Presidential candidate Ted Cruz announced the endorsement of NH State Senator Kevin Avard. Avard, who was formerly Rand Paul's NH Chairman, is serving his first term as the State Senator from District 12. Before being elected to the New Hampshire Senate, Avard served in the House from 2010-12 and on the Franklin City Council from 2000-2002. He is a self-employed contract cleaning manager. Avard has fought to tighten government spending, lower taxes, promote local control of education, protect property rights, and ensure that all government agencies are held accountable to the people.
 
“I am proud to endorse Ted Cruz for President,” said Avard. “This election is so critical for our nation and it is time we send a principled, conservative leader to the White House. Ted has fought tirelessly to protect our Constitutional rights, especially our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. I have watched him stand up to the Washington establishment in the fight against Medicaid expansion and his unyielding leadership to repeal Obamacare and give states and the American people greater control over their healthcare instead of Obamacare bureaucrats and profiteers in Washington, D.C. He has been a strong defender of property rights and has fought to protect our liberties from government overreach. Because of his proven record in fighting for our men and women in the military, I have the confidence Ted is ready to be the Commander-in-Chief we need to restore America’s leadership in the world.”
 
“Kevin has spent his time serving in the New Hampshire House and Senate fighting hard for the liberties of his constituents,” said Cruz. “He has fought to curb out of control spending, help promote growth and job opportunities in the Granite State and free the private sector from the harmful government regulations that are stifling businesses. I am thrilled to have Kevin’s support and look forward to working together to unite conservatives behind our campaign.”

Ted Cruz For President Announces New Hampshire Endorsements from Top Liberty Leaders Formerly with Rand Paul
 
HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Presidential candidate Ted Cruz continued building his strong New Hampshire coalition by announcing the support of six of New Hampshire’s top state representatives formerly supporting the candidacy of Rand Paul.
 
“I am thrilled to announce such an outstanding group of leaders committed to cause of liberty and the Constitution,” said Cruz. “They join an impressive group of Liberty Leaders for Cruz that our campaign has assembled across the country. The U.S. government is crushing liberty at nearly every turn. Our Constitutional rights are under attack like never before and we must fight back.”

“For years, I have worked very diligently to protect and advocate for the natural and Constitutional rights of the gun owners of the state of New Hampshire,” said Rep. Hoell. “In reviewing the remaining candidates in the field, there is only one candidate that has a proven track record in defending the gun owners from further erosion of their rights and that is Ted Cruz. I have grave concerns that other candidates would be willing to bargain our rights away and fail to support us when the time came to stand strong in defense of the second amendment.  With that in mind, I stand with Gun Owners of America and agree that Cruz is our remaining best shot at electing a President to protect the rights of the gun owners of our great nation."
 
Below are the New Hampshire leaders endorsing Ted Cruz for President, all formerly part of Senator Paul’s leadership team.
 
Representative Max Abramson is serving his first term in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Rep. Abramson represents district 20, Hampton Falls and Seabrook.
 
Representative Eric Eastman is serving his first term in the New Hampshire House, representing district 28, Nashua and Ward 1.
 
Representative Harold French is also serving his first term in the New Hampshire House, representing district two. He’s currently a real estate broker and auctioneer as well as a folk art sculptor.
 
Representative Larry Gagne is serving his fourth term in the New Hampshire House, representing district 13. Rep. Gagne served in the United States Navy from 1961 until 1966, he is also a lifetime member of the NRA and Pro-Gu8n NH.
 
Representative J.R. Hoell, a mechanical engineer, is serving his third time in the New Hampshire House, representing district 23.
 
Representative Mark McLean is serving his first time in the New Hampshire House, representing district 15.  He is a member of the Deering, Fish, and Game Club and senior engineer at Osram Sylvania.

South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan Endorses Ted Cruz for President

South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan Endorses Ted Cruz for President

HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Congressman Jeff Duncan of South Carolina endorsed Ted Cruz for President. Duncan is one of the leading conservative voices in the House, advocating for limited government, restoring the rule of law and respecting our Constitutional liberties. He has represented South Carolina’s 3rd congressional district since 2011.
 
“We have the best Republican Presidential field that we've had in a generation. We have a number of candidates who would make an excellent Commander-in-Chief,” said Rep. Duncan.  “But I’m reminded of a lesson my grandfather always taught me, that it’s best to judge a man not by his words but rather by his actions. I haven’t been in Washington long, but I have learned that it is a place filled with people who say one thing to get elected and do the opposite once they get there. That is why when deciding who to support, I’m looking for a candidate who has a record that matches their rhetoric and a history of following through on their word. I believe that candidate is Senator Ted Cruz.
 
“I didn't run for Congress to make friends, I ran to fight to restore the America that we love. Sometimes in these fights I've been in the majority, other times I’ve been in the minority, and often I'm one of a few. But I've never been alone, and that is because Ted Cruz has been in the middle of nearly all of those fights with me.
 
“I believe Ted Cruz is the right candidate for the right time in our country's history. A proven leader and a consistent conservative who will fight the Washington cartel and stand up for the American people. Ted doesn't just talk about the Constitution, he's lived it and defended it tirelessly. I believe Ted’s record sets him apart on this race and it is why I am proud to support him for President of the United States.”
 
“Jeff has spent every day that he’s been in Congress fighting for the liberties of his constituents,” said Cruz. “He is a tremendously important voice for freedom and a champion for conservative principles. He has fought tirelessly to repeal Obamacare, to stop Obama's lawlessness and to protect life and marriage. I am thrilled to have his support and look forward to working to bring conservatives together to win the White House in 2016.”
