Caitlyn Jenner likes republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, and would like to be his 'trans ambassador,' the transgender icon and former Olympian said in an interview Wednesday.

'I like Ted Cruz,' Jenner told the Advocate. 'I think he’s very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man.'

Were Cruz to be elected president, Jenner would like to be appointed 'trans ambassador to the president of the United States.'

'I [would] have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues,' Jenner mused. 'Isn’t that a good idea?' 

Despite her warm feelings for Cruz, Jenner, 66, didn't formally endorse the Texas senator for president, saying 'he's an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.' 

While the Democrats are 'better' when it comes to social issues, Jenner thinks the GOP fiscal conservatism is more suited to serve transgender Americans.

Ted Cruz has repeatedly questioned the rights of transgender Americans in his interviews and speeches 

'If we don’t have a country, we don’t have trans issues,' said Jenner, who is a former decathlete and announced her transition from male to female in 2015. 

'We need jobs. We need a vibrant economy. I want every trans person to have a job. With $19 trillion in debt and it keeps going up, we’re spending money we don’t have.' 

'Eventually, it’s going to end. And I don’t want to see that. Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise. The people built it. And they need to be given the opportunity to build it back up.' 

While Cruz and Jenner might agree in their belief in a deregulated economy, Jenner picked an unlikely companion in her fight for trans justice. 

Cruz has questioned transgender rights on several occasions during his campaign for the 2016 GOP nomination.

Referring to a federal ruling that an Illinois school violated the rights of a transgender girl who wasn't allowed to shower with her female teammates, Cruz said last November the decision was 'ridiculous' and enforced by 'zealots.'

'You know, I’m the father of two little girls. Caroline and Catherine are seven and five. I don’t want my daughters taking showers with little boys, I don’t want them when they’re in junior high or high school. And it’s absurd, no parents do,' Cruz said in an interview with EWTN. 

Speaking on the same issue at a campaign stop in Iowa in January, Cruz suggested transgender students could use faculty facilities.

'I'll say that inflicting - inflicting [a transgender student] on the teachers is probably better than sticking him in the shower with the teenage girls,' Cruz said, according to NBC News.

Discussing last October whether the military should allow transgender people to serve, Cruz said 'We shouldn't view the military as a cauldron for social experiments.'

'How about having the military focusing on hunting down and killing the bad guys...instead of treating it as this crucible for social justice innovations,' Cruz said at an Iowa event, according to the Washington Post.
