On Families & Children: Supports full reauthorization of Violence Against Women Act

Allred said he supported a full, five-year reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and added gun control measures. He criticized Sessions for not pushing harder before the expiration and for voting against the 2013 reauthorization. "My opponent should have gone to Speaker [Paul] Ryan and said, put the Violence Against Women Act on the table so we can vote for it and have a full five-year reauthorization, full funding for it, and he did not do that," Allred said.

On Social Security: Protect Social Security and Medicare from cuts

Congressman Sessions and his allies will have to cut Medicare and Social Security in order to pay for the tax giveaway to corporations and the wealthiest Americans -- breaking the promise made to our seniors. I will fight for middle class tax cuts--not handouts to those at the top. And while Pete Sessions has voted to raise the retirement age and cut Medicare benefits, I will protect them.
