Senate Candidates for Texas
Ted Cruz, Republican
United State Senator for Texas
Sen. Ted Cruz represents 30 million Texans in the U.S. Senate as a passionate fighter for limited government, national security, and economic growth. He has authored over 90 legislative measures that have been signed into law...
He is also leading the fight in the Senate to support Texas jobs, hold Big Tech accountable to the American people, secure the border, fundamentally reassess the U.S.-China relationship and hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for covering up the coronavirus pandemic, committing human rights atrocities, and engaging in censorship, propaganda, and espionage in the United States.
Colin Allred, Democrat
Colin Allred’s story is a uniquely Texas story. A fourth generation Texan, Colin was born and raised in Dallas by a single mom, who was a public school teacher and often worked two jobs to make ends meet. With help from his aunt and uncle, he and his mom moved to North Dallas, where his mom and aunt and uncle still live a street apart. When not at a YMCA camp, he often spent summers visiting his grandmother in Brownsville, where his grandfather was a customs officer after fighting in the Pacific with the Navy in World War II.
Seeing a need for new leadership and fresh ideas to the community that helped raise him, Colin ran for Congress in Texas’ 32nd District. With the help of a broad coalition of Texans he defeated a 22-year Republican incumbent in 2018, won reelection in his battleground district in 2020, and then won a third term in 2022.
In Congress, Colin has shown time and time again he’s more interested in getting things done than playing politics. He’s partnered with Republicans on major bipartisan initiatives...​
Recognizing his work to bring people together, Colin is a rare member of Congress to be endorsed by both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and leading labor unions like the AFL-CIO in both of his re-election campaigns. More than 70% of the bills he’s cosponsored have been bipartisan.
