Ted Cruz presidential campaign, 2016
The 2016 presidential campaign of Ted Cruz, the junior United States Senator from Texas, was announced through social media and a later event at Liberty University on March 23, 2015. Cruz has been seen as a potential candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States since shortly after taking office in 2013. Cruz is the first Cuban American to run for President of the United States, declaring approximately three weeks before fellow Republican Marco Rubio (who is also of Cuban ancestry).
==Background==
Leading up the 2016 presidential election cycle, commentators expressed their opinion that Cruz would run for President in 2016.〔Cillizza, Chris (September 13, 2013) ("Rand Paul, 2016 Republican front-runner" ), ''The Washington Post''. Retrieved September 28, 2013.〕〔Bump, Philip (September 25, 2013) ("Ted Cruz's First 2016 Campaign Ad Is Over 21 Hours Long" ), ''The Atlantic Wire''. Retrieved September 28, 2013.〕〔Metzler, Rebekah (September 27, 2013) ("Poll: Ted Cruz Leads 2016 GOP Field" ), ''U.S. News & World Report''. Retrieved September 28, 2013.〕 On March 14, 2013, he gave the keynote speech at the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. He tied for 7th place in the 2013 CPAC straw poll on March 16, winning 4% of the votes cast. He performed even more strongly in the 2014 CPAC straw poll, coming in second with 11% behind Kentucky senator Rand Paul.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CPAC 2014: The final scorecard )〕 In the 2015 CPAC poll, he came in third with 11.5% behind Wisconsin governor Scott Walker and Paul. In October 2013, Cruz won the Values Voter Summit Presidential straw poll with 42% of the vote, which was the highest percentage of any winning candidate in that poll's history. A year later, he won the same poll again by a smaller margin of 25%, becoming the first person to ever win more than one VVS straw poll.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cruz clinches straw poll gold again )〕 He came in first place in the two most recent Presidential straw polls conducted in 2014 with 30.33% of the vote at the Republican Leadership Conference and 43% of the vote at the Republican Party of Texas state convention.
Cruz spoke at events in the summer of 2013 across Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, early primary states, leading to speculation that he was laying the groundwork for a run for President in 2016. On April 12, 2014, Cruz spoke at the Freedom Summit, an event organized by Americans for Prosperity, and Citizens United. The event was attended by several potential presidential candidates. In his speech, Cruz mentioned that Latinos, young people and single mothers, are the people most affected by the recession, and that the Republican Party should make outreach efforts to these constituents. He also said that the words "growth and opportunity” should be tattooed on the hands of every Republican politician.〔
