Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Passing of Ross Perot

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement on the passing of Ross Perot:

"Our hearts are heavy as we bid farewell to Ross Perot. In his 89 years on earth, he lived the American dream to the fullest. Ross is a Texas legend. He will be remembered as an outstanding entrepreneur, philanthropist, and dedicated husband and father. A fierce patriot, Ross fought for what he believed in, and his national grassroots movement changed politics forever.
