St. Johns County Republican Party to host Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The St. John County Republican Party will host U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis in Ponte Vedra Beach on Friday.

Cruz and DeSantis seem to be working together across the chambers. They are pushing for tax reform and a federal health care law replacement and both are dealing with devastating hurricanes in their states.

On Tuesday, News4Jax caught up with members of the GOP who explained what they hope to hear from the Texas senator and former Presidential candidate.

“He's influential with his fellow senators. And he's also going to be influential in getting 'repeal and replace' passed. So we really want to know what the strategy in the Senate is. I think there's no question that there's frustration on the part of the voter. The grassroots feel, 'Why can't we get things done? What's the problem?'" William Korach said. 

The St. John County Republican Party will hold a dinner Friday night at Sawgrass Country Club. Everyone is welcome and there will be question-and-answer time with Cruz and DeSantis.
