Inside a Florence adult education building on Saturday, the Cruz campaign brought Ray, a field director and an attorney to the 7th congressional district convention, where three delegates would be elected.

During that January 14 GOP debate, Cruz said “everyone understands that the values in New York City are socially liberal or pro-abortion or pro-gay marriage, focus around money and the media”.
