Iowa State Senator and Former Walker Supporter
Randy Feenstra Endorses Ted Cruz for President
HOUSTON, Texas
– Presidential candidate Ted Cruz today announced the endorsement of
former Scott Walker supporter, Iowa State Senator Randy Feenstra. The
endorsement follows Cruz’s earlier announcement that all three of
Walker’s former grassroots co-chairs in Georgia are also now organizing
for the Cruz campaign.
“It
is an honor to earn Randy’s support and I look forward to working with
him as we compete to win Iowa and the entire GOP primary,” Sen. Cruz
said. “I am very proud of the network of courageous conservatives we’ve
built across Iowa. Their hard work will be crucial to restore jobs,
growth and security and reignite the promise of America.”
“Sen.
Cruz is an inspirational leader that has the ability to bring people
together around a bold vision,” Sen. Feenstra said. “I believe he is
the leader this country needs as we work together to address the
pressing social, economic, and foreign policy issues facing our nation.
Today, I am committing to do everything I can to help Ted Cruz become
the next President of the United States.”
