{"id":5492,"count":0,"description":"By name, Rafael Edward Cruz, is an American politician who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012 and began his first term representing Texas in 2013.\r\n\r\nThroughout his life, Ted Cruz has proven to be a passionate and effective fighter for limited government, economic growth, and the Constitution. \r\n\r\nHis father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, was born in Cuba but fled to the United States in 1957 after being imprisoned by the Fulgencio Batista regime. Ted\u2019s mother, Eleanor Elizabeth Wilson, was a native of Delaware. When he was born in 1970, the family was living in Alberta, Canada, where his parents worked in the oil industry. Because he was born to an American mother in Canada, Cruz became a dual U.S.\u2013Canadian citizen.\r\n\r\nIn the U.S. Senate, Ted has led the fight to repeal Obamacare, to secure the border, and to confirm Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. He has also led the fight to defend life, marriage, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and our entire Bill of Rights. And most importantly, he\u2019s kept his promise to speak the truth and do what he said he\u2019d do. \r\n\r\nTed has proven to be the exact type of courageous conservative we need in the U.S. Senate to restore economic growth, defend our Constitution, and protect the values we all hold dear.\r\n\r\nOn March 03, 2020, Sen. Ted Cruz came in contact unknowingly with a coronavirus positive person. Upon knowing, he voluntarily quarantined himself up to March 17 (2 weeks).\r\n\r\nSen. Cruz is working with federal, state, and local officials and business and community leaders to curb the spread of the coronavirus, protect public health, and take steps to help Texans return to work and get the economy moving again.","link":"https:\/\/sntjohnny.com\/front\/tag\/ted-cruz","name":"Ted Cruz","slug":"ted-cruz","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sntjohnny.com\/front\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/5492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sntjohnny.com\/front\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sntjohnny.com\/front\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/sntjohnny.com\/front\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=5492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
