Democrats Launch Major Coordinated Attack Strategy In Texas
SUMMARY
The Texas Democratic Party and Rep. Colin Allred have launched the "Texas Offense" campaign to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz in November, beginning with a Houston event featuring prominent local figures. Allred, seen as the Democrats' best hope to flip a Senate seat, emphasizes his commitment to effective representation for Texans. Polls show a close race, with Cruz slightly ahead. Financially, Allred out-fundraised Cruz by over $2.5 million between April and June 2024, though Cruz still holds more overall funds. The campaign focuses on grassroots efforts and data sharing to build statewide voter engagement and momentum against Cruz.
