As campaigns become more focused and debates become more heated, Ted Cruz is rapidly emerging as a front runner for the GOP. His highly organized grassroots efforts are spreading in Georgia like wildfire, and he is now the first presidential candidate with a campaign headquarters established in Lowndes County. The office will open with a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, December 16 at 3:00 pm.

County Chairman Trey Taylor says, “Our nation is at a political crossroads. We cannot continue down the road we have traveled over the last several years. Leadership is what this nation needs, the kind of leadership Ted Cruz has shown his entire career.  Championing conservative causes, fighting for religious liberty, our Second Amendment rights, preventing government overreach, and providing for a stronger, safer America. It is clear that Ted Cruz is  a man called for this time in our history. We welcome all committed, compassionate conservatives to our cause.”

Cruz has depended heavily on well organized grassroots strategy throughout his political career, and he isn’t treating the presidential campaign any differently. Giving voice to conservative voters who are frustrated with the establishment, Cruz has already recruited more than 100,000 volunteers and presently has more cash on hand than any other candidate. He views Georgia as essential in his effort to be named the GOP nominee in the coming election, and has made his presence known here, as has his wife, Heidi, who has spoken around the state just this month.

Cruz said recently, “Georgia is a crucial state to the 2016 election and I am looking forward to working alongside the stronghold of courageous conservatives who work tirelessly to defend conservative principles across the state.” He spoke confidently of his leaders, saying, “The team we have put together has unparalleled experience running and winning campaigns at the grassroots level. I am honored and excited to have their enthusiastic support as we spread our message in Georgia and across the region.”
