If Ted Cruz is to slow Donald Trump's march to the Republican presidential nomination by closing a gap in polls and defeating the billionaire in Indiana's primary on Tuesday, he'll need conservatives such as Catherine Lanctot of Indianapolis.

Lanctot, 59, has been making phone calls to voters at Cruz's Indianapolis office most days during the past week when she wasn't home-schooling her two youngest daughters. The nomination fights are usually over by the time Indiana votes, and Lanctot said she's making the most of the state's pivotal role this year to help Cruz, who she sees as the most principled conservative in the race.
