Eight-term Missouri Congressman Sam Graves on Monday endorsed Ted Cruz for president.
Said Graves of northwest Missouri: “I have personally seen Ted Cruz stand up and fight on the issues that matter the most to conservatives, even when it wasn’t popular in Congress. He has never wavered. He has always stood on principle. And he has always put the American people first.â€
Graves’ long-time campaign consultant Jeff Roe is running Cruz’s campaign, so the endorsement is not a big surprise.
“As threats emerge – from ISIS, to Russia, to the Iranian nuclear program – we need a president with the resolve to defend our country and not back down,†Graves said. “We must secure our borders and restore the rule of law, and more than anyone running, Ted Cruz has fought to make this nation secure, while protecting our constitutional rights.â€
Graves’ backing marks the first congressional-level endorsement of Cruz in Missouri.
The endorsement comes on the same day that Cruz’s wife, Heidi, visited Missouri. She attended a noon rally in Blue Springs with state Sen. Will Kraus, a candidate for Missouri secretary of state.
She also was in Jefferson City where she filed papers for her husband to be on the 2016 Missouri primary ballot....

I won’t argue what neither of can prove at the moment. I will just agree to disagree.
Time will tell! Good enough?
Ha!
The most mature, educated, able, person in the Pubbie race is Cruz...
WOW!
Also another snoozer who can’t win the general. Oh well.
We will see.
Tad Cruz!!
How do you prove your assertion?
I don’t believe that Cruz will not win A) Conservative democrats (or those who don’t believe in the radical left) 2) Most independents who dislike Obama and the Democrats.
Especially against Hillary Clinton.
SO It’s on you to prove this, and all I have seen so far is just conjecture/opinion. What do you base this assertion on?
A POLL!!
I've never been "polled". EVER!!
Polls as "news" are a joke........
Always have been..I expect always will be...
Polls ought to be held to a "truth" test. LOL!!!
That’s fine, just ignore my last post then, please.
I asm sorry, Cruz has been consistently behind. I am sticking to what I say.
Time will tell.
Ping me for Ted’s next 10000 person rally. Okay?
You can say that...but doesn't make it true.
Opinions are what they are........
I agree with that. Eah has their own opinion at the moment. None of us can prove ourselves right at the moment!
But....you said what you said...up thread.
What is up with that? Ha!!
Is still think Cruz cannot win the general. I am sticking with that. Sorry if that doesn’t make you happy. ha..or whatever.
Frankly....Is, I could care less what you think.....
Well, I think we could have quit a few posts back like I tried to do, but I won’t miss caring that you don’t care what I think. LOL
He will be painted by the democrats and the media as a billionaire who is out of touch with the regular folks. They will even have lots of examples.
As a New York city real estate moghul, he probably has a lot of issues that have not been revealed yet- the democrats know where all the shady stuff is hidden.
Trump cannot control what comes out of his mouth for too long. He will go all unhinged when the libs and the media bring out the bad stuff.
