Alan Steinberg Endorses Ted Cruz For President
Endorsement of Former Bush Regional Administration Official for the United States EPA
HOUSTON, Texas
- Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of
Alan Steinberg, former Regional Administrator for the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the administration of
former President George W. Bush. During his time at the EPA, Steinberg
made history by having a formerly delisted Superfund site in New Jersey
restored to the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) - the first
time a previously delisted site had been restored.
“I am thankful to have the support of Mr. Steinberg,” said Cruz. “He is
a public servant with a diverse and impressive background. He is
a
very capable individual who was trusted to protect the health and
livelihood of millions of people. He will be a real asset to our
campaign.”
Today, Steinberg is an adjunct professor at Monmouth University in New
Jersey where he has taught courses in environmental policy, state and
local government, and public administration. He served in the Judge
Advocate General’s Corps of the U.S. Navy, as a consultant to various
corporations and as the senior policy advisor in the New Jersey
Assembly Republican Office.
“Ted Cruz is the most competent candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination on foreign policy issues since Ronald
Reagan.
Like Reagan, he believes that our foreign policy and international
military involvements should be governed by one criterion: the vital
interests of the United States. Like Reagan, he rejects the
policies
of both isolationists and out-of-control interventionists."
"Ted Cruz is a candidate of unsurpassed intellect, scintillating
intelligence, and unquestionable ethics. As an Orthodox Jew, I
have a
special feeling for him - he is by far the most committed supporter of
Israel among all the candidates for president in either party in
Campaign 2016. Like Ronald Reagan, he will become a great
President
of the United States."
Mr. Steinberg is the author of American
Jewry and Conservative
Politics: A New Direction, and has served as regular columnist
for New Jersey’s leading political website, PolitickerNJ.com.
