NH 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.”
