Former Bogota mayor and longtime conservative candidate Steve Lonegan has found a home leading the New Jersey campaign of Texas Senator Ted Cruz’s burgeoning presidential bid.
According to an announcement by the Republican today, Lonegan has been named the New Jersey State Chair of Cruz’s presidential campaign, launched four months ago amid much fanfare. In a press release, the Tea Party standard bearer called Lonegan a “tireless advocate for taxpayers,” and praised his work as a conservative activist in the state. (Brush/PolitickerNJ)
