Scott Walker stars in a [new television ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXzzzojbEe8&feature=em-uploademail) for GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz released Thursday — just days before the state’s Republican presidential primary. “Jobs, freedom, security. That’s what’s at stake,” Walker says in the ad. “That’s why I’m supporting Ted Cruz.” Walker, who dropped out of the primary in September, [endorsed Cruz](http://time.com/4274724/ted-cruz-scott-walker-endorsement-donald-trump/) earlier this week saying he was “uneasy” with the prospect of frontrunner Donald Trump winning the primary. The state will hold its Republican primary on Tuesday. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4277932/scott-walker-ted-cruz-ad/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4277932/scott-walker-ted-cruz-ad/"},"headline":"Scott Walker Stars in New Ted Cruz Ad","datePublished":"2016-03-31T16:18:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T16:22:33.520Z","description":"\"Jobs, freedom, security.
