Officials with Assemblywoman Shannon Grove said she is endorsing Ted Cruz for President of the United States.

The Republican presidential candidate recently announced 118 members of his California Leadership Team which includes Grove.

“To me, the most important job the President of the United States has is to protect our God-given rights, hallowed in the Declaration of Independence and enshrined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Ted Cruz understands this," Grove said in a statement.

Grove added that she trust Cruz to protect and defend "America’s freedom, borders, and way of life from all harm, foreign, or domestic."
