Florida GOP backs Cruz

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas

Another state party has formally moved to thank Sen. Ted Cruz.

And this one is from Sen. Marco Rubio’s home state:

The state party’s caucus of state committeemen and committeewomen, who make up the governing executive committee of the party, voted by acclamation this afternoon during a meeting in Orlando to express their support for Cruz. If another high-level party committee approves the action Saturday, they’ll send letters to Cruz and others in Congress who voted with him thanking him for his actions.

The Republicans are gathered in Orlando for their annual Statesman’s Dinner, a fundraising dinner.

A written copy of the resolution wasn’t immediately available, but Bill Bunting, a state committeeman from Pasco, said the resolution was to “thank Ted Cruz and the ones who voted with him.”

It passed after only brief debate in the gathering.

The South Carolina state GOP was the first to pass a formal resolution supporting Cruz’s controversial efforts protesting the nation’s health care law.
