Millennials for Cruz Coalition Is Growing
Presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz announced the expansion of his Millennials for Cruz Coalition National and State level leadership over the weekend at a College Republicans National Committee event in National Harbor, Maryland.
New National co-chairs include Katie Kieffer, Joseph Semprevivo and Juliette Turner.
Kieffer is an entrepreneur, author, commentator, public speaker and weekly national columnist. Random House recently published her first book, titled Let Me Be Clear: Barack Obama’s War on Millennials and One Woman’s Case for Hope.
Semprevivo is the CEO and president of his small business, Joseph’s Lite Cookies. Joseph is a member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and has been involved in mobilizing campuses for campaigns such as Florida Governor Rick Scott, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey.
Turner is a three-time published author with HarperCollins Zondervan. Publishing Our Constitution Rocks in 2012 and Our Presidents Rock in 2014, her latest book, a novel entitled That’s Not Hay in My Hair, is due to be released February 2016. To date, Juliette has spoken to 50-plus schools and events in 10 different states about the nonpartisan relevancy of the United States Constitution.
These new additions join three National Co-Chairs previously announced, Alessandra Gennarelli, Elliott Kelley and Neal Mehrotra, who chair more than 5,200 Millennials for Cruz members across the U.S.
“I am inspired and encouraged to have so many young men and women rise up to advocate for this campaign across the country,” Cruz said. “The millennial generation is the largest voting bloc in America, and must not be ignored. College students and young adults are waking up to the effect Washington will have on their future. Together we will say enough is enough. Enough with spending the United States into trillions of dollars of debt, and enough with job stagnation.”
Cruz also announced the appointment of Northeast Regional Director Austin O’ Boyle, Western Regional Director Branton Nestor and state directors in 32 states. Millennials for Cruz has executed multiple campus events such as a Voter Registration Day before the Iowa Caucus, a National Debt Clock Day before Super Tuesday to raise awareness of Cruz’s plan to fix the national debt, and a phone-from-home competition on campuses before Super Tuesday.
