Ted Cruz has been described by National Review as “a Republican star rising in Texas,” and as “a great Reaganite hope.” He served as the Solicitor General of Texas from January 2003 to May 2008. During that time, he gained recognition as an effective, articulate advocate of America’s founding principles and Texas values.
Appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Cruz represented Texas as its chief appellate lawyer before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Texas Supreme Court, and the state and federal appellate courts. He was the youngest Solicitor General in the nation, the longest serving Solicitor General in Texas, and the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas. He was named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America, hailed as a “rising star” in the Wall Street Journal, and named by the National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America. Cruz has authored over 80 U.S. Supreme Court briefs and personally argued 37 oral arguments, including eight before the U.S. Supreme Court—the most of any lawyer in Texas.
