Congressman David
Schweikert Endorses Ted Cruz for President
HOUSTON, Texas
– Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced the endorsement of
Congressman David Schweikert. Congressman Schweikert represents
Arizona’s 6th district. He was first elected to Congress in 2010 and
has regularly been recognized as a leading conservative reformer. Prior
to being elected to the United States Congress in 1990, he was elected
to the Arizona House of Representatives, where he served two terms and
also was selected as Majority Whip.
“My
top priority in Congress has always been to do what the Washington
insiders simply refuse to do, and that is to reduce the size and cost
of government and save our nation from the crushing debt that the
Washington politicians have placed on the backs of each and every
citizen of our nation," said Schweikert. "Throughout the never ending
battles to do this, Ted Cruz has always been a principled leader
fighting to do the very same thing. With a federal debt that is quickly
approaching an unfathomable $20 trillion, our country’s future economic
growth and prosperity are in grave danger unless we elect a principled
conservative who is truly committed to stopping the out of control
spending and borrowing that has led us to where we are today."
“It’s
clear that Ted is the conservative leader that we need as our next
president, and my wife Joyce and I are proud to give him our strongest
endorsement. In the upcoming Arizona presidential preference
primary,
Ted is the clear choice for voters who want a conservative president
who is truly committed to fixing the mess in Washington,” Schweikert
concluded.
“I
am thrilled to have such a passionate fighter for liberty on our team,”
said Cruz. “David has spent his time in Congress fighting against the
Washington Cartel and protecting the interests of the American people.
He has worked to rein in Obama’s lawlessness, repeal Obamacare, and
stop the President’s illegal executive amnesty. David is a strong
addition to our team and I am thankful for his leadership fighting on
issues that are most important to conservatives.”
