Steve Strang Endorses Ted Cruz for President
Leading Christian Publisher: "[Cruz's] courageous conservatism is indisputable among the Republican candidates"
HOUSTON, Texas
– Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement
of Steve Strang, founder of Charisma magazine,
one
of
the
nation’s
most
widely circulated Christian publications. The
magazine is read by more than 200,000 monthly, with four million unique
online visitors per month.
In an editorial in the print edition of Charisma Magazine, Strang said,
“People
are
beginning
to
wake
up. There is more concern and more prayer
than I’ve seen in years. …Let’s coalesce around one candidate who
shares our values and worldview and who can win – Senator Ted Cruz.”
Strang continued in an online op-ed: “Pastors
and leaders, speak to your sphere of influence. Turn out for the
primaries and caucuses and encourage others to do the same. The first
is February 1 in Iowa. By mid-March, one of the candidates
will have
the momentum to go all the way. …To me this is not about Democrat or
Republican. I've been registered in both parties. It's about
conservative and liberal policies that either line up with our
understanding of God's Word or oppose it with public policy.”
“I enjoyed our interview and am grateful to have Steve’s
endorsement,”
said Cruz. “Steve is right, people of faith cannot afford to split
their vote or their influence. Together, our voices our strong – voices
for religious liberty, for Israel, for economic growth, and for our
Constitution. People of faith continue to coalesce around our campaign,
demonstrating that this cycle, their impact will be powerful.”
Steve Strang is the CEO and founder of Charisma magazine
and
an
award-winning
journalist
and
businessman. In 2005, he was listed
by TIME Magazine as one of the 25 most influential evangelicals in
America. Strang is also the founder and president of Charisma
Media,
which publishes a variety of Christian publications, including

House, their book division, sells more than three million Christian
