Cruz Adds Dozens to North Carolina Statewide Leadership Team

Press Release

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, candidate for President, today announced dozens of new members to his North Carolina statewide leadership team, which now covers every Congressional district in the state and reflects his growing grassroots support across the country.

"This ever-growing coalition of state grassroots activists shows how broad and competitive our North Carolina Cruz for President team will be in the Republican primary," Sen. Cruz said. "I am humbled and honored by the support of these leaders in the Tarheel State who are standing with the American people to take on the Washington Cartel."

The diverse team of leaders reflects the old Reagan Coalition: a full spectrum of conservative support from across North Carolina. Cruz Leadership Team members include current and former Republican Party and Republican Women officers, pastors and ministry leaders, homeschool families, grassroots organizers, long-time campaign operatives, College Republicans, Independent and Unaffiliated voters, Second Amendment advocates, numerous veterans, and hard-working business owners.

"I especially welcome our honorary co-chairwoman Myrtle Spry, of Concord, to the team. She is an American hero, and at 96 years young, is an inspiration to all!" Cruz added. Spry is a World War II Navy veteran, who decoded messages from the field. She spent much of the rest of her career in education and is a longtime political activist.
