Among others who have been mentioned as potential Cruz primary challengers are Texas U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul and political analyst Matthew Dowd, a former strategist for George W. Bush.
De Stefano's surprise announcement rolls out officially on Thursday via his campaign's Facebook page. He aims to scramble the calculus of what is otherwise shaping up as a general election faceoff between Cruz and Democratic hopeful Beto O'Rourke, a congressman from El Paso.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2015 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Christian Defense, which led demonstrations and prayer vigils for Terri Schiavo in Pinellas Park, Florida, calls the comments by Dr. Carson, "insensitive, uncaring and hurtful to the Schindler family and the disabled community across the nation."
The organization calls for Dr. Carson to reconsider and rethink his position on this issue and his profound disrespect to the Schindler family.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Director of the D.C. based Christian Defense Coalition, has been a strong advocate for the disabled community and end-of-life issues for over 30 years; led demonstrations to save the lives of Nancy Cruzan and Terri Schiavo; and refused to eat for the 14 days that Terri was being starved and dehydr...
"President Bush and Governor Bush do not think it was 'much ado about nothing' and either did the members of Congress who voted to have Terri's case reconsidered in federal court.
"It is deeply troubling to reconcile Dr. Carson's past comments about the sanctity and dignity of life with his blatant disregard for how Terri was treated and the painful and barbaric way in which she died. What makes it even more troubling, is that Dr. Carson is a world renowned neurosurgeon and a leading candidate f...
"With comments like this, one shudders at what kind of Presidential policies he would have concerning end-of-life issues and working with the disability community."
In one incident, stalker Roger Alvarado managed to get inside Swift home when she wasn't there.
Roger Alvarado, 23, was on Monday also ordered by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Laura Ward to stay away from Swift and refrain from any contact with her.
Alvarado pleaded guilty on April 1 to criminal contempt and attempted burglary.
In exchange he was promised two-to-four years behind bars.
In his most recent collar on March 7, he was caught trying to smash through a glass door on the terrace of the Grammy-winner's Franklin Street building.
His latest arrest followed a string of 2018 break-in efforts.
In one incident last April, he managed to get inside when Swift wasn't home.
He took a shower and had a nap in her bed before police caught him.
Prior to that, he was caught trying to smash through a door with a shovel.
There is an emerging consensus that the Christchurch terror attack was not limited to merely New Zealand’s biggest southernmost city, but rather a far bigger global event with global consequences.
Indeed, over a period of time, it will be seen, especially after the initial and rightful initial emotional outpouring settles a bit, how dramatically New Zealand has emerged on the map of global terrorism.
Right now the focus is surely and rightly on the immediate response of dealing with grave losses to our communities and uniting a grieving nation.
Undoubtedly, the efforts led by the current political leadership so far have largely been successful in attracting intense domestic support and global adulation.
The mainstream media coverage has also been primarily focused on these issues related to Christchurch terror attack.
However, there are a few areas around Christchurch terror attack that has received insignificant attention.
Firstly, the attack despite appearing to be directed against the Muslim community in fact is equally malicious toward the entire migrant community – especially people of colour. For the ethnic migrant communities, including Kiwi-Indian community a piercing question, though currently under the carpet, yet easily palpabl...
The Kiwi-Indian community has borne a significant brunt of the attack by losing 11 precious lives and leaving three more gravely injured with one facing the possibility of being permanently disabled. Among those of Indian-descent people who lost their lives, five were Indian nationals; three were Fiji-Indians and three...
In the twisted ideology of white supremacists, the targets are against “foreign invaders” – who are primarily people of colour, with differing beliefs, faiths and worldviews, including Indians – which is of our utmost concern.
The killer – who is mostly believed to be a white supremacist – has clearly mentioned “Indian invaders” in his “manifesto”. Denouncing immigrants, the manifesto has dubbed them as "invaders", and talks about an invasion from India, along with China and Turkey.
Once the dust settles in, and we collectively regain our ability to see and analyse things objectively, more answers will be sought about the perceived sense of safety and security of the broader ethnic communities, including the Kiwi-Indian community.
Surprisingly New Zealand mainstream media has completely missed such a vital fact around Christchurch terror attack that can throw much light into the twisted white supremacist ideology.
For the uninitiated, since October 2018, much of the YouTube community, and the internet at large has been engrossed in the battle for YouTube supremacy, as an independent creator, Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg went up against an Indian Bollywood channel T-Series.
The Indian-based channel has been mostly uploading music videos whereas PewDiePie – refers to a 29-year-old Swedish YouTuber who is primarily known for his relatively innocuous meme and video game commentary videos.
In the last few months, the battle between two channels in the internet world had attracted significant attention of the internet world with leadership in subscription base fluctuating between both of them.
At the time of writing, T-Series has 90,649,931 subscribers on YouTube, whereas PewDiePie has 90,457,675 subscribers. There is about a 12,300 subscriber gap between the two channels, and it’s still growing, with T-Series putting more distance between itself and PewDiePie every minute.
This seemingly innocuous internet fight had a marked symbolism of white supremacist ideology targeted so ludicrously against an Indian-based channel.
The fact that the instigator of Christchurch terror attack had so vividly called for subscribing PewDewPie channel only exposes the underbelly of white supremacist ideology so blatantly targeted against everything Indian.
From a Kiwi-Indian perspective, this is an alarming concern, and it’s omission from New Zealand’s mainstream media coverage on the Christchurch terror attack, is a stark reminder of the fact that a lot has to be done over and beyond the current phase of kindness and compassion to fully integrate ethnic population in th...

Cody Hill replaces Robert Pritz, who had been Taylor County extension agent since 2008.
Cody Hill, 48, was named the county's new AgriLife extension agent at the Taylor County Commissioners Court meeting Tuesday.
Hill replaces Robert Pritz, who had been extension agent since 2008.
Hill said that the area and community attracted him to the job.
"It seems like a very growing, prosperous area, both ag-wise and community wise," he said after the meeting.
A graduate of Angelo State University, Hill has a master's degree from Texas Tech University, bringing with him 23 years of experience.
Originally from Littlefield, Hill is presently extension agent in Borden County, where he has worked for 11 years. Previously, he was in Parmer County.
Commissioner Chuck Statler said that Hill impressed during the interview process and it was felt he would be a "good team player" with others at the local extension agency.
Pritz left Abilene to become agriculture and natural resources regional program leader for the agency’s West Region in San Angelo.
The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is an educational agency with a statewide network of professional educators, trained volunteers, and county offices, made of up 250 offices and about 900 professional educators.

New claims: Was Diana murdered?
The death of Britain's Princess Diana could be re-investigated by Scotland Yard after new allegations have been made which claims she was murdered by a British soldier.
Princess Diana's death could be re-investigated due to sensational new claims.
Scotland Yard have been reportedly passed on new information including an allegation the late British monarch was murdered by a soldier.Diana, 36, and Dodi Fayed died 16 years ago after their driver Hendri Paul crashed their car in Paris and the new claims surrounding their deaths are being assessed for their credibili...
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "A new witness has come forward and seems to be suggesting that Diana's death could be linked to the British military.
"Officers have a duty to assess all information but their first job is to work out whether this information is credible.
"It was passed to Scotland Yard by the Royal Military Police."
According to reports in The Sun on Sunday newspaper, the new claims include allegations Diana was assassinated and make references to her secret diary and the SAS.
An inquest in 2008 ruled she and Dodi were unlawfully killed due to their chauffeur's "grossly negligent driving".
The timing of the allegations come after her son Prince William welcomed his and Duchess Catherine's first son - Prince George - into the world last month, and just two weeks before the 16th anniversary of Diana's death.
Will Grigg admits his ankle problems have been ‘difficult’ to deal with - but he’s refusing to use that as an excuse as he looks to fire Sunderland to promotion.
The striker was suffering from an injury when he joined the Black Cats on transfer deadline day in January and, despite having recovered from the initial knock, has struggled to shake off lingering niggles.
Such worries prompted the striker’s withdrawal from the Northern Ireland squad last month, with Jack Ross admitting in the aftermath of Sunderland’s defeat at Wembley that the striker had scarcely trained.
While Grigg admits that the injury has made things ‘difficult’ for him, he is determined to keep on performing and playing his part in the club’s promotion push.
And with just five League One games remaining, he’s confident he can continue to manage the injury to ensure he is as productive as possible in front of goal.
“It’s alright,” said Grigg of the injury.
“Obviously it has been difficult in terms of the ankle and a few bits and bobs here and there.
“I came injured, got over it and now it’s a bit of a re-occurring thing.
“I’m doing my best to manage myself on and off the pitch and doing everything I can to make sure I’m fit and ready to play.
Grigg has managed to net five times since moving to the Stadium of Light, including two in his last four outings, but feels he still has more to offer the side moving forward.
But despite admitting he is still not at full fitness, Grigg won’t be using his injury worries as an excuse ahead of some crucial League One fixtures - starting with the visit of Doncaster Rovers on Friday evening.
And the striker - who was speaking at an appearance at Peterlee Fire Station as part of the club’s #FIREUPOURCITY campaign - believes it is the norm for players to not be at full fitness at this stage of the season.
“I can’t remember the last time I was 100% going into a game, but I’m sure every professional footballer would say that,” he admitted.
“I’m not going to say that I’m battling through injuries or stuff like that, because if I was injured I wouldn’t be playing.
Larry Kudlow is reportedly being floated to take over at the National Economic Council.
By Bryan R. Smith/AFP/Getty Images.
Last week—or, in Trump years, five lifetimes ago—the administration finally drove Gary Cohn to the edge. After weathering months of crap that he should have resigned over—Nazis, travel bans, getting passed over for the Fed job, the sort of public humiliations that led former Goldman colleagues to liken him to a healthy...
Larry Kudlow . . . would be “exactly the wrong voice” as President Donald Trump’s new top economic adviser, said former Reagan budget director David Stockman. Somebody needs to wake up Trump from an economic agenda that’s “off the deep end,” something Kudlow would not be able to do, Stockman argued.
Chuck Todd: I think you most recently appeared before her committee. She’s the Ranking Member on House Financial Services. If somebody on your staff referred to her that way in public, would that person still be on your staff?
Steve Mnuchin: Chuck, you know I’ve been with the president and at campaigns. You know he likes to put names on people. He did that throughout the entire presidential election. Including all of the Republicans that he beat. So these are campaign rally issues.
Chuck Todd: So is that acceptable—so you’re saying that’s acceptable behavior for the rest of the administration, too?
Steve Mnuchin: I . . . I . . . again.
Chuck Todd: Or just unique to him?
Steve Mnuchin: Again Chuck. This is something that is at a campaign rally. And the president likes making funny names.
Speaking as the World Series champion Houston Astros visited the White House, Trump asked Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, whether he planned to cut taxes further. Brady and G.O.P. Sens. John Cornyn and Ted Cruz were among the lawmakers from Texas attending the event.
