“You know American woman have carried every presidential election since
1964,” said Nance. “I’ve thought long and hard about who should be our
next President. So many issues hang in the balance, the issue of life,
marriage, we have between one and maybe four Supreme Court Justices
that are going to be appointed by the next President. I have spent a
lifetime working to support conservative principles. And believe me I
prayed and labored over who I think should be the next President but
today I’ve made a decision and so I’m coming to you in front of the
White House to let you be the first to know. Today I’m announcing my
support for Ted Cruz for President.”
“I am honored to have the endorsement of Penny,” said Cruz. “She has
spent her lifetime standing up and defending issues that are most
important to conservatives like life and marriage. She has been a
tireless voice for liberty, inspiring thousands nationwide. Penny is a
strong and principled woman of faith. I am thrilled to have her
leadership and looking forward to continue to coalesce conservatives
around this campaign.”
