Christopher Ekstrom a Republican Dallas based investor chairs the PAC.[1] LeadershipChristopher Ekstrom a Republican Dallas based investor, is the Chairman of Courageous Conservatives PAC and also Conservative Response Team. Ekstrom is a vocal critic of the Democratic Party and moderate wing of the Republican Party. Ekstrom publicly attacked U.S. Senator John McCain for his votes to confirm Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Kerry, and Eric Holder.[2][1] Political ActivityIn 2016 the PAC supported Texas U.S. Senator Ted Cruz in his bid for President and made advertisements against Marco Rubio and his Gang of Eight Amnesty proposal made during his presidential campaign, as well as Jeb Bush and Donald Trump.[3][4] Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family voiced an advertisement in support of Senator Ted Cruz through the PAC[5]. In addition to helping conservative candidates seeking office in the House and Senate, Courageous Conservatives PAC previously supported efforts by the Free Our Delegates and Delegates Unbound political groups to allow delegates to the 2016 Republican National Convention to vote for the candidate they, as individuals, support when nominating the next GOP presidential candidate.[6] Steve Lonegan, former NJ Chair for the Ted Cruz campaign, was the committee's spokesperson up until 2017.[6] In November 2016 Courageous Conservatives PAC released a pro Steve Bannon advertisement after President Donald Trump named Bannon as his top policy aide.[7] During the Alabama U.S. Senate Special Election to fill Jeff Sessions U.S. Senate seat, Courageous Conservative PAC endorsed Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks.[8] In referencing Roy Moore during the endorsement of Mo Brooks on June 15th, 2017 the PAC stated "There’s a real legitimate concern that with a special election on December 12th that Roy Moore as our nominee could actually lose an Alabama Senate seat to a Democrat." [9] Courageous Conservatives PAC endorsed Roy Moore during the runoff election and in the general election. After Roy Moore lost to Doug Jones in the 2017 special election, the PAC ran robocalls against Alabama U.S. Senator Richard Shelby after he stated "“couldn’t vote for Roy Moore.” The ad stated "Sen. Richard Shelby stabbed President Trump and conservatives in the back, Tell Shelby you’ll never forget his disloyalty to President Trump and the Republican Party for his treasonous actions. Tell Shelby he’s betrayed his trust to Alabamians and he should resign his office. Call now." [10] In the 2018 Arizona Republican Primary Courageous Conservatives PAC supported Lt. Col. Wendy Rogers where she won on August 28th, 2018.[11] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.courageousconservativespac.com/endorsements/|title=Endorsements - Courageous Conservatives PAC|work=Courageous Conservatives PAC|access-date=2018-09-09|language=en-US}} 2. ^{{Citation|last=Courageous Conservatives PAC|title=John McCain -- DC Insider|date=2016-07-15|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH1ksjo1rPU|access-date=2018-09-09}} 3. ^{{Citation|last=Courageous Conservatives PAC|title=Winner|date=2016-01-18|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q_7-C-SEbg|access-date=2018-09-09}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.courageousconservativespac.com/watch-our-videos/ |title=Watch our Videos |website=Courageous Conservatives PAC |accessdate=June 27, 2016}} 5. ^{{Citation|last=Courageous Conservatives PAC|title=Dr. James Dobson for Ted Cruz for President|date=2016-02-05|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs9wU0y0HMY|access-date=2018-09-09}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|first=Alexis |last=Bowen |url=http://dailycaller.com/2016/06/24/super-pac-still-pushing-to-free-delegates-at-gop-convention/ |title=Super PAC Still Pushing To Free Delegates At GOP Convention |publisher=The Daily Caller |date=June 22, 2016 |accessdate=June 27, 2016}} 7. ^{{Citation|last=Courageous Conservatives PAC|title=CCPAC Drain The DC Swamp|date=2016-11-17|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJCoTbbD470|access-date=2018-09-09}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/CourageousConservativesPAC/posts/courageous-conservatives-pac-endorses-mo-brooks-to-replace-jeff-sessions-in-the-/1696404527328458/|title=Courageous Conservatives PAC|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2018-09-09}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/CourageousConservativesPAC/posts/courageous-conservatives-pac-endorses-mo-brooks-to-replace-jeff-sessions-in-the-/1696404527328458/|title=Courageous Conservatives PAC|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2018-09-09}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/13/roy-moore-richard-shelby-alabama-339185|title=Moore forces seek retribution against Shelby|work=POLITICO|access-date=2018-09-09|language=en}} 11. ^{{Citation|last=Courageous Conservatives PAC|title=AZ Conservative Lt.
