One of Massachusetts’s strongest conservative voices to lead Cruz Massachusetts Campaign
HOUSTON, Texas
– Presidential candidate, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today announced
State Rep. Jim Lyons, 18th Essex District, chairman of the Cruz
campaign in Massachusetts. Rep. Lyons and his wife, Bernadette, hosted
Cruz at their home in Andover this past May, which drew a crowd of 600
who came to hear Sen. Cruz’s optimistic vision for the future of our
nation.
“I
had the honor of meeting Ted and Heidi in May and I can tell you, Sen.
Cruz is the strong conservative leader our country needs,” Rep. Lyons
said. “Together we will build a strong team of courageous conservatives
– tea party, faith, and liberty leaders – to run a strong campaign for
Massachusetts’ Super Tuesday Primary.”
Representative
Lyons is currently serving his second term in the House of
Representatives. He represents the 18th Essex district,
representing
parts of Andover, North Andover, Boxford and Tewksbury. Lyons has
worked in the family-owned retail flower and ice cream business for
more than three decades. He has been a champion on Beacon Hill for
funding public safety, slashing taxes and making state government more
accountable, open and transparent.
