Phil Gramm Endorses
Ted Cruz for President
HOUSTON,
Texas
– The Cruz for President campaign today announced the endorsement of
former Senator Phil Gramm from Texas. Gramm served Congress
representing the state of Texas for more than two decades, first in the
U.S. House of Representatives, then later as Senator. He taught
economics at Texas A&M University for 12 years before his election
to Congress. Gramm is widely respected for his successful efforts to
reduce federal spending, rebuild our national defense, and mandate
Reagan-era tax cuts. Gramm will serve the campaign as a Senior advisor
on economic issues and spearhead outreach to Members of Congress.
“Ted
Cruz is a fearless leader and fighter for conservatives all over this
country,” said Gramm. “He has consistently and unwaveringly fought to
protect our God-given liberties his entire life. I believe he is the
leader that America needs now, at a time when our freedoms are
endangered. I intend to do everything in my power to help Ted Cruz
broaden his political base, win the nomination, and be elected
President of the United States. ”
“Phil
has been a powerful voice for conservative values his entire career and
Americans know and respect his principled leadership on their behalf
during his time in Congress,” said Cruz. “When Bill Clinton tried to
push HillaryCare through Congress, Phil stood firm and unequivocally
with the American people - his leadership showed the nation that when
leaders stay true to their values and fulfill their promises, the trust
they earn from the voters can influence public opinion and change the
course of our country for the better. I am honored to have his support
for this campaign.”
