Washington (CNN) The Club for Growth made its first ever presidential endorsement, backing Ted Cruz for president early Wednesday and giving him another boost in his uphill fight for the GOP nomination.

"Ted Cruz is the best free-market, pro-growth, limited-government candidate in the presidential race," the group's president, David McIntosh, said in a statement. "The Club's PAC has never endorsed in a presidential race, but this year is different because there is a vast gulf between the two leading Republican candidates on matters of economic liberty."

The endorsement is not unexpected. Early in the race, the group encouraged its donors to contribute to five candidates, including Cruz, and the other four Republicans have all exited the race. The Club has been one of the leading groups spending money against Donald Trump and it also has had sharp words for Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

The group has said it is considering airing pro-Cruz television spots in addition to the $5.8 million it has already spent on anti-Trump ads so far in the race.

Club for Growth is Cruz single largest contributor in their category. Goldman Sachs is the largest contributor in their category. I really don't think most Americans want a Republican nominee owned by the same people as Hillary Clinton. Pro-immigration, pro-free trade treason on a silver platter? I don't think so. But, we'll find out soon enough.

Club for Growth is a pro illegal alien amnesty organization!

CLUB FOR GROWTH

The Club for Growth is a national network of over 100,000 pro-growth, limited government Americans who share in the belief that prosperity and opportunity come from economic freedom.

Club for Growth is the leading free-enterprise advocacy group in the nation. We win tough battles and we have an enormous influence on economic policy.
In fact, we are the only organization that is willing and able to take on any Member of Congress on policy who fails to uphold basic economic conservative principles…regardless of party.

We do this by pinpointing key bills up for debate in Congress and exerting maximum pressure on lawmakers to vote like free-market, limited government conservatives. And when they don’t, we hold them accountable by publicizing their voting record.

THE CLUB FOR GROWTH HAS A TREMENDOUSLY POWERFUL THREE-PRONGED APPROACH WHEN IT COMES TO INFLUENCING THE WAY LAWMAKERS VOTE ON KEY ECONOMIC LEGISLATION.
​

1. We issue Key Vote Alerts to all Congressional officers so that Senators and Representatives know exactly how they should vote on proposed legislation.
2. We publish yearly Congressional Scorecards so that constituents know whether or not their legislators are voting in favor of tax cuts, reduced spending,
and pro-growth policy.
3. We run hard-hitting independent issue ads on television and radio that expose to constituents the truth about where politicians stand on harmful bills that could raise taxes, increase regulations,
and expand the role of the government. NO politician wants to bature of one of our ads.

Some of the Club’s top policy goals include:
​

• Reducing income tax rates and repealing the death tax
• Replacing the current tax code with a fair/flat tax
• The full repeal of ObamaCare and the end of abusive lawsuits through medical malpractice/tort reform
• Reducing the size and scope of the federal government
• Cutting government spending and passing a Balanced Budget Amendment to the United States Constitution
• Regulatory reform and deregulation
• School choice

In the 2012 election, many of Club for Growth supported some of the GOP's most vocal opponents of immigration legislation.
The group supported Ted Cruz who did not support immigration legislation.
They were a major supporter of Rep. Steve King who was outspoken on his anti-immigrant movement.
They were also cheerleading for Senate Candidate Paul Broun, who believes that immigration reform is part of a ploy to doom America and destroy our Constitution.
