The Cruz campaign announced Assemblyman John Moore as part of its Nevada leadership team on Sept. 18 (+). However, on Oct. 1, the Paul campaign announced Moore as a caucus state endorsement (+). An Oct. 1 article in Politico ("Paul and Cruz squabble over Nevada assemblyman endorsement" by Daniel Strauss) expained that Moore had "postive things to say about both candidates" but that he supported Paul.
