Gary Bauer Endorses Ted Cruz for President
Bauer: “Cruz is the clear choice of Reagan conservatives”
HOUSTON, Texas
– Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of
Gary Bauer, one of the nation’s most effective pro-family leaders and
communicators. Bauer served as Under Secretary of Education and
head of
the White House Office of Policy Development for President Reagan.
He
later served as Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family and as
President of the Family Research Council.
Over the course of ten years, Bauer led the Family Research Council
from a three person, one million dollar operation, to a 120 person, $14
million operation. In 2000, Bauer was a candidate for the
Republican
nomination for President of the United States.
After the campaign, he founded and now serves as the president of
American Values, a non-profit educational organization committed to
defending life and traditional marriage. Bauer additionally serves as
chairman of the Campaign for Working Families, one of the nation’s
largest conservative political action committees, focused on electing
conservatives to Congress. He holds a law degree from Georgetown and,
along with his wife Carol, is the father of three children.
“Today, with great pleasure, I am endorsing Ted Cruz for President,”
Bauer said. “Ted Cruz is a courageous conservative who has built a
consistent record on the issues that matter most. He has fought
for
religious liberty at home and abroad. He believes all of our
children
should be welcomed into the world and protected by the law. Ted
knows
that government is too big and that taxes and regulations are too
high. He will rebuild our military strength and pursue a foreign
policy
that repairs our frayed alliances. Ted Cruz understands that Israel is
our friend and that Iran is our enemy. He understands that border
security is national security. Last, but certainly not least, Ted Cruz
is committed to restoring the rule of law and repealing President
Obama's outrageous executive orders.“
"I have the highest respect for Gary and his impact on American culture
and political life,” said Cruz. “As Chairman of President Reagan’s
Special Working Group on the Family, Gary brought national attention to
the importance of marriage and the family. He has been highlighting the
issues that matter and addressing them with courage and intelligence
for decades, and our nation is stronger because of it. I am honored to
have Gary’s backing on this campaign."
