New Hampshire? She is really young. Not a whole lot of experience, nor record.

Ted Cruz takes sides in GOP primary in key congressional battleground district

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas is weighing into an increasingly crowded race for the 2022 Republican nomination in New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District, one of the nation's premier congressional battlegrounds.

Cruz is backing GOP candidate Karoline Leavitt, a 24-year old veteran of President Trump's White House in an endorsement shared first with Fox News on Wednesday.

The influential conservative lawmaker charged in a statement that "Washington D.C. is broken. There is a crisis at the border and Democrats are spending trillions of dollars we don’t have for their liberal wish list. It’s time we send a new generation of leaders to Washington D.C."

"That’s why I am supporting Karoline Leavitt for Congress," Cruz said. "Karoline is a fighter who shares our core values, will bring new leadership to D.C. and help conservatives stand up to the Swamp. I am proud to endorse Karoline, and I ask my fellow conservatives in New Hampshire to join me in supporting her campaign for congress."

Leavitt, who would be the minimum age of 25 to serve in the House of Representatives if she takes office in January 2023, said she's "truly honored and excited to be endorsed by one of the most effective fighters for conservative values in Washington — Senator Ted Cruz."

If elected, Leavitt added that "I look forward to working with Senator Cruz on Capitol Hill to advance legislation that limits the federal government, protects our Second Amendment, and preserves our liberties."...........

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
