Cruz Begins to Build Team for White House Bid

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is building out a presidential campaign team which could start before this spring, the Washington Examiner reports.

“The Republican senator from Texas tentatively plans to fill senior campaign positions with the triumvirate he signed last summer to expand his political operation. At the top is Jeff Roe, whose organizational title is undefined but who would be the campaign’s chief strategic and logistics decision-maker. Jason Miller would shape and oversee campaign messaging; Lauren Lofstrom would direct fundraising.”

“Cruz is in the process of ‘feeling out’ additional campaign hires and prospective donors in preparation to join the field of 2016 candidates. If the senator decides to run for president, he wants to hit the ground at full speed, a senior Cruz advisor confirmed Monday.”
