Democrat Congressman to Challenge Sen. Ted Cruz in 2024.

Rep. Colin Allred Announces Run for Senate Against Ted Cruz

Exciting news for Texans! Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) has announced his candidacy for the Senate in 2024, challenging incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). In a powerful video posted to his Twitter account, Allred called out Cruz for being disconnected from the people of Texas and focusing on “phony culture wars” instead of real issues that affect Texans.

A Personal Connection to Texas

Allred’s personal story is one of resilience and determination. Growing up with a single mother who worked two jobs to make ends meet, he knows firsthand the struggles that many Texans face. As a former NFL linebacker and the first member of Congress to take paternity leave, Allred is committed to fighting for working families and creating a better future for all Texans.

A Clear Contrast

Allred’s announcement comes after Cruz faced criticism for flying to Cancun during a winter blackout in Texas earlier this year. Allred didn’t hold back in his criticism of Cruz, citing the incident as evidence that Cruz is out of touch with the people he represents. Allred also highlighted Cruz’s support for the Republican candidates ahead of the Jan. 5, 2021, Senate runoffs in Georgia, where the Democrats would win both seats and thereby take back the Senate.

Focusing on Real Issues

Allred is committed to focusing on real issues that affect Texans, such as wages and drug prices. He knows that these are the issues that matter to everyday Texans, and he’s ready to fight for them in the Senate. Allred’s personal story and commitment to common-sense solutions make him a strong candidate to represent Texas in the Senate.

• Key Takeaway: Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) has announced his candidacy for the Senate in 2024, challenging incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). Allred is committed to fighting for working families and focusing on real issues that affect Texans.
