Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) launched his campaign for U.S. Senate, saying Texas “can’t afford six more years” of incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the Dallas Morning News reports.
Said Allred: “The political extremism that we are becoming increasingly known for is a real risk to our business community and our path forward. It’s making some folks say they don’t want to send their kids to school in our state. We can go in a different direction.”
The Cook Political Report moves the race from Solid Republican to Likely Republican.
