"Our listeners are eager to select the next President of the United States – a man of principle, of Christian character, and a proven leader with a record of conservative accomplishment."

"Ted Cruz is unwavering in his principles, bold to stand up for what's right, and unafraid to be politically incorrect." Rich Bott added. "Ted Cruz is the right man running at the right time.

"I am glad to have the support of Dick and Rich Bott," Cruz said. "Thousands of Americans have been encouraged by their ministry, broadcasting sound Bible teaching and Christian encouragement into the heartland. Their support is further evidence that, from the ground up, people of faith are answering the call, heading to the polls, and rallying around a consistent conservative who can win."
