Cruz for President
Announces Kansas State Rep. Mark Kahrs as Kansas Chairman
HOUSTON, Texas
– Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced Kansas State
Representative Mark Kahrs from Wichita, Kansas Chairman for the Cruz
for President campaign. Rep. Kahrs has been active in Kansas politics
for over twenty-five years serving in various offices within the Kansas
Republican Party, including former Chairman of the Sedgwick County
Republican Party and most recently as former Chairman of the Fourth
District Republican Committee. Mark was recently chosen by his
Republican House colleagues to serve as Vice Chairman of the Republican
House Campaign Committee. A fourth generation Kansan, Mark is a small
business owner, has served as board member on the Wichita Independent
Business Association, and practices law in his own law firm.
"This
is an extremely critical election for conservatives," said Rep. Kahrs.
"We need a leader that will stand up and fight the Washington
establishment to restore the power back to the people and stand up for
conservative values. Ted Cruz is a consistent conservative and has the
record to prove it. I am excited to be part of this campaign and lead
the effort in Kansas to unite conservatives to get Cruz elected to the
White House in 2016."
"Mark
is a principled conservative who has spent his time fighting in Kansas
to limit the size of government, create jobs and grow the economy, and
protect life, marriage, and the Constitution,” said Cruz. “We need more
legislators like Mark who are passionate advocates for liberty and who
work to restore the power back to the people. I am thrilled to have
Mark join our campaign and look forward to working with him to coalesce
conservatives in Kansas.”
