Cruz for President Announces Endorsement of Julaine Appling
“Cruz Has the Character, the Temperament, and the Values to Lead"
HOUSTON, Texas
- Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of
Julaine Appling, president of Wisconsin Family Action*, the state’s
leading pro-family organization, as well as the endorsement of
Wisconsin Family Action PAC.
“Senator Cruz is a man of integrity who has kept the promises he made
when he ran for Senate,” Appling said. “He has a proven track record of
standing up for the Constitution, religious liberties, and traditional
American values. I’m excited that we are not being asked to choose
between the lesser of two evils at the ballot box – in Ted Cruz, we
have a champion to support!”
“I am honored to have the support of Julaine Appling and the Wisconsin
Family Action PAC,” Cruz said. “Wisconsin residents rightly feel
threatened by a federal government that is standing in the way of
individual liberty and economic prosperity. Our families deserve
better, and I’m running for president to reverse the negative policies
of the Obama administration and to bring economic prosperity back to
Wisconsin families.
“Life, marriage, and the family are essential pillars of our society,”
Cruz continued. “This week, as Christians mourn the loss of EWTN
founder Mother Angelica, we remember her beautiful description of
marriage: ‘[It is] a sign to the world of the invisible God living in
our midst - the living God who bears fruit in the lives of two people.’
Wisconsin Family Action is dedicated to upholding the sacrament of
marriage and strengthening families, and I am grateful for Julaine’s
leadership and support of our campaign as we work to restore a
welcoming culture for life and marriage.”
Ms. Appling serves as president of Wisconsin Family Action* and
Wisconsin Family Action PAC, organizations committed to supporting
marriage, life, religious liberty, school choice, and lower taxation
for Wisconsin families. Both organizations are also dedicated to
fighting the expansion of gambling in the state, as well as the harmful
effects of pornography.
“Wisconsin Family Action PAC is pleased to endorse US Senator Ted Cruz
for president,” the group said in a statement.
“We believe Senator Cruz has the character, the temperament, and the
right values to lead America. He has proven throughout his career and
during the campaign that he understands the importance of
strengthening, preserving, and promoting in this country natural
marriage and family, the sanctity of human life, and
constitutionally-provided religious freedom."
