Heidi Cruz, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, is scheduled to make a South Jersey stop next Wednesday in Haddon Heights.
Heidi Cruz, recently made into a political piñata as part of a Twitter war raging between her husband and frontrunner Donald Trump, will attend a rally and fundraiser from noon to 1:15 p.m. at The Cabin, 600 W. Lippincott Lane, Haddon Heights. The former Boy Scout cabin holds just 40 people, but has fair-sized grounds and is inexpensive to rent from the borough.
Heidi Cruz starts her New Jersey swing in North Jersey the evening before.
The Haddon Heights event includes a fundraiser and meet-and-greet, followed by a public rally.
The Cruz campaign has targeted New Jersey as a crucial state with a primary June 7. New Jersey has 51 delegates in the winner-take-all primary.
Steve Lonegan, a former mayor in North Jersey who has run unsuccessfully for statewide office, is Cruz's campaign chairman in New Jersey.
Gov. Chris Christie, who defeated Lonegan in the 2009 gubernatorial primary, is backing Trump.
