Colin Allred Announces Run for Senate Against Ted Cruz<\/h2>\n<p>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 &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-transgender-commentator-blaire-white-rape-of-va-girl-politically-inconvenient-for-left\/\" title=\"Conservative Transgender Commentator Blaire White: Rape of VA Girl \u2018Politically Inconvenient\u2019 for Left\u2019\">phony culture wars<\/a>&#8221; instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-the-legacy-media-convinced-americans-that-andrew-cuomo-was-a-hero\/\" title=\"How The Legacy Media Convinced Americans That Andrew Cuomo Was A Hero\">real issues<\/a> that affect Texans.<\/p>\n<h3>A Personal Connection to Texas<\/h3>\n<p>Allred&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-tebow-strengthens-bond-with-israel-with-charity-event\/\" title=\"Tim Tebow Strengthens Bond With Israel With Charity Event\">personal story<\/a> is one of resilience and determination.

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.<\/p>\n<h3>A Clear Contrast<\/h3>\n<p>Allred&#8217;s announcement comes after Cruz faced criticism for flying to Cancun during a winter blackout in Texas earlier this year. Allred didn&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<h3>Focusing on Real Issues<\/h3>\n<p>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&#8217;s ready to fight for them in the Senate.
