Ted Cruz is intelligent, articulate, and well-prepared to defend and protect the Constitution as the next president of the United States. He entered the national spotlight during his contentious 2012 run for the Senate, but it's worth taking a look at his resume because it highlights long-standing and staunch support of conservative principles.
Conservative Credentials: Pre-Senate Life and Career
Prior to winning that senate seat with conservative
grassroots and TEA Party support and becoming the first Hispanic to serve as a senator from Texas, Cruz was also the first Hispanic—and the longest-serving person in Texas history—to hold the office of Solicitor General of Texas.
Cruz joined the George W. Bush campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser and advised then-candidate and Governor Bush
on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform.
During the Bush administration, Cruz served as associate deputy attorney general at the DOJ and as a policy adviser on the Federal Trade Commission. While at the FTC, Cruz was an
avid free-market crusader—an extension of his high school participation in the Houston-based Free Market Education Foundation, a program Cruz entered at the age of 13.
