SAN DIEGO -- Former California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring today issued the following statement on being named to lead the Ted Cruz for President campaign in California as state campaign chairman:
"Ted Cruz is an exciting, Reaganite candidate for President who has demonstrated the courage needed to get the country on track.
"There are few places in America that highlight the failure of the Obama 'recovery' than California, where we have the nation's highest poverty rate, one of its worst unemployment rates, and a middle class squeezed between sky high taxes and a high cost of living. People in many of our counties are struggling with double digit unemployment and opportunities crushed by bad ideas coming out of Washington and Sacramento.
"To help Californians regain lost ground, we need a President who will set a new course for the nation that will reignite our economy by expanding economic freedoms and opportunity. Ted Cruz has proven he has the courage, skill, principles and experience to make it happen and I'm proud to join his team.
