Cruz Campaign Announces Formation of Religious Liberty Advisory Council: ‘It Is Time for Our Liberties to Be Respected in Washington’
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign announced the formation of a “Religious Liberty Advisory Council” Monday afternoon, intended to guide the Texas senator’s policies to protect religious liberty and “reverse the unprecedented attacks on freedom.”
In a statement to reporters, the campaign said the council will be made up of 19 people, all who have a record of protecting religious liberty.
“Religious liberty is the first freedom guaranteed to Americans under the Constitution, and ensuring the protection of that right has been a priority my entire adult life,” Cruz said in the statement. “Increasingly, renegade government officials seek to coerce people of faith either to act in a manner that violates their faith or forfeit their career. When I am elected president, that will change. It is time for our liberties to be respected in Washington.”
