Declared Candidates
Ted Cruz
Declared 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
U.S. Senator from Texas
The Harvard and Princeton-educated attorney once served as the Domestic Policy Advisor to former president George W. Bush. Noted for his formidable oratory skill, Senator Cruz is
viewed by some as one of the intellectual leaders of the tea
party movement.
Rand PaulDeclared 2016 Republican
Presidential CandidateU.S. Senator from Kentucky
Sen. Paul finally emerged from the huge shadow of his larger than life father, maverick Republican Ron Paul, when he was selected to
deliver the tea party response to President Obama’s SOTU address in
2013, and in the process, cementing his de facto leadership
of the movement.
Declared 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
U.S. Senator from Florida
Marco Rubio is definitely on the short list of names for Republican frontrunner. Being
himself of Cuban heritage, he enjoys strong support among the important Latino
demographic, in addition to holding solid conservative principles that make him eminently likeable to the Republican
constituency.
Marco Rubio
Declared 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Physician, Author and Citizen Politician
Ben Carson is a highly accomplished physician who is seen as a breath of fresh
air in the world of politics. He has left his position as
director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns
Hopkins Medical Center and is in pursuit of the U.S.
presidency in 2016.
Ben Carson
Declared 2016 Republican Presidential CandidateBusinesswoman and
Former CEO of Hewlett-Packard
The only well-known woman running for the
Republican nomination in 2016, Carly Fiorina is a unique political figure.
Her business experience and conservative
principles make her attractive to the right,
but past difficulties and failures could haunt her
moving forward.
Carly Fiorina
Declared 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Former Governor of Arkansas, Man of Faith and TV
Personality Mike Huckabee is an
Evangelical Christian who never shies away from his
faith. In January, 2015, he bid farewell as host of his popular
talk show on the Fox News Channel to pursue his 2016
presidential bid.
Mike Huckabee
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Former US Senator from Pennsylvania
The former two-term Senator from Pennsylvania is
widely expected to make another bid to be the party’s
nominee for president in 2016. With a small but loyal base behind him, Senator
Santorum would be looking to expand his demographic appeal over the next three
years.
Rick Santorum
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Former Governor of Texas and 2012 presidential candidate
After his ultimately underwhelming performance
in 2012, Gov. Perry, the longest serving Texas
governor in history, will surely be looking forward to 2016
and launch probably his final attempt at securing the Republican presidential
nomination.
Rick Perry
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
U.S. Senator from South Carolina
The former Colonel with the USAF JAG unit has been one
of the most recognized Republican faces in the post-2012 election era.
However, his reputation as a compromise broker in Congress has taken a hit
over his recent conversion into a foreign policy hawk.
Lindsey Graham
Undeclared (As
of 5/14)
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Former Governor of Florida
Florida’s only Republican two-term Governor, Jeb Bush is a
heavyweight political contender who comes from a family of presidents. His left-leaning
ideologies make him too liberal for the taste of some in his party, however, and his lineage could be hindrance rather than help.
Jeb Bush
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Governor of Wisconsin
Gov. Walker’s proposed Wisconsin Act 10 triggered a wave of controversy that forced a recall election in his second year in office.
However, Gov. Walker prevailed and achieved the distinction of becoming the country’s first governor to survive a recall election.
Scott Walker
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Governor of New Jersey
Assurances given to a number of his biggest campaign
contributors held Gov. Christie back from running in 2012,
despite pleas from party luminaries such as former
president George H.W. Bush. However, Gov. Christie has been
slowly but surely positioning himself for a 2016 run.
Chris Christie
Exploratory 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate
Current Governor of Louisiana
Gov. Jindal created history in 2008 when he became the first Indian American
to be elected a state Governor. At the grand
old age of 24, the Rhodes Scholar was appointed by
Gov. Murphy Foster to manage the Health and Human Services Dept.,
the largest department in the state.
