Oh...you may already know him.

Democratic strategists plan to “aggressively” tie Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to all Republicans next year in an attempt to scare away moderate voters, party officials say.
“Die-hard Republicans will consider him their best surrogate, and we consider him our best surrogate too,” says Democratic National Committee spokesman Mike Czin. “Wherever he goes now, I think he’s a political liability for all Republicans.”
The effort takes a page out of the time-honored playbook of guilt by association, which Republicans so ably deployed in 2010 by using Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to hurt Democratic congressional candidates across the country. Their aim is force Republicans to either embrace the Republican senator to shore up their conservative flank or shun him in order to appeal to moderates, either way alienating a vital swath of the electorate.
