Ted Cruz, kicking off his 2016 campaign for the U.S. presidency, extolled his wife’s entrepreneurial spirit by telling of her grade-school bakery business. He didn’t mention the 10-year career at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. she just put on hold.
Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas, became the first major-party candidate to formally enter the race on Monday. He was joined on stage by his wife, Heidi, and their two daughters, Caroline and Catherine, after he told a crowd of supporters about Heidi’s Bakery, her childhood venture in California.
