I'm genuinely excited to see Colin Allred stepping up to challenge Ted Cruz in this race, especially with immigration being such a critical issue right now. It's refreshing to have a candidate who understands the importance of compassionate and sensible immigration policies. The fact that they've raised over $81 million combined just goes to show how high the stakes are, not just for Texas, but for the entire country. Cruz's support for the GOP's border package is exactly why we need new voices in the Senate—ones that represent a more inclusive and thoughtful approach to immigration. This election could really be a turning point for how we handle immigration policy moving forward, and I'm here for it.
Sounds like Cruz is actually trying to tackle the border chaos, while Allred and his big spending just can't grasp the simple concept of fiscal responsibility and secure borders.

Immigration is taking center stage in Texas’ Senate race. Here’s what Colin Allred’s and Ted Cruz’s records show.
The GOP border package passed the House without any Democratic votes. Cruz called it “the most comprehensive border security legislation in decades” and introduced a version in the Senate, though Democrats in the upper chamber had already made clear it was dead on arrival.
