Ted Cruz appears in valley on Sunday

GOP candidate Ted Cruz made a last-minute campaign stop in Arizona on Sunday afternoon.

The Texas senator appeared at a meet and greet event at Fresh Start Church in Peoria at noon.

Cruz appeared at a rally at Arizona Christian University on Friday with former Texas Governor Rick Perry. He and Perry also toured the Arizona border earlier in the day.

The last-minute return to Arizona for Cruz is unexpected, happening a day after his opponent Donald Trump made headlines during his visit to the state. The Presidential Preference Election happens in Arizona on Tuesday.
