Former SC AG, McCain, Bush, Dole SC Co-Chairman Endorses Ted Cruz for President
HOUSTON, Texas
– Today, Former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon
endorsed
Ted Cruz for President. A two-term AG in the Palmetto State, Condon led
in guaranteeing constitutional rights for victims of crime. He served
as John McCain’s South Carolina Co-Chair in 2008, George Bush's South
Carolina Co-Chairman in 2000, and South Carolina Chairman for Bob Dole
in 1996.
“Ted
Cruz’s fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law makes him a
welcome figure after eight years of Obama’s lawlessness,” said Condon.
“No one has fought harder to protect the rights and freedoms of
Americans than Ted Cruz. From Texas to Washington, in the courtroom and
on the Senate floor, he has been the leading voice opposing Obama’s
unconstitutional executive orders, usurpation of legislative power, and
selective enforcement of the law. With Ted Cruz as President, we will
have someone in office who respects not only his constitutional
authority but also the limitations of that power that guarantee our
liberty. I am proud to support Cruz for President.”
“I
am honored to have Charlie’s support,” said Cruz. “He has been an
incredibly strong warrior in the fight to uphold the law and protect
our freedoms. He is an important and influential voice in a critical
early state in this campaign. I look forward to having his help as we
connect with South Carolina voters.”
