2024 TX Senate race: on Foreign Policy
Colin Allred:
Biden did a good job in uniting free world against Russia
It's been inspiring to me to see a young democracy defending itself against the brutal dictator [Vladimir Putin] who's trying to recreate and reconstitute the Soviet Union. We just can't accept that. I think we have to continue to support them in their
fight for freedom, and it's not just the United States. I think President Biden has done an admirable job of bringing really the free world together in rejecting this Russian aggression…their war crimes.

Roland Gutierrez:
We must fight to maintain democracy in Ukraine, elsewhere
Ukraine is about democracy. We must fight to maintain democracy in Ukraine or any part of the world because when its challenged, it affects us. We cannot allow fascist dictators like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to take us back to World War II.
We cannot allow ourselves to be in a situation where they overrun countries in Europe. Cannot happen. Must not happen. Just like democracy is challenged there, it's also eroding here.

Carl Sherman:
The United States has a responsibility to be the peacemaker
Sherman backs calls for a cease-fire and quoted the Bible's admonition that "blessed are the peacemakers." As the country that spends the most on its military, the United States has a responsibility to be the peacemaker, he said. "People
are dying--women and children, innocent people are dying--and whether they are Israelis, Palestinians, whatever, Sudan, as Americans, because we have been blessed we should take the moral high road," he said.

Colin Allred:
Bring hostages home; Hamas must be held accountable
Allred, when asked about the Oct. 7 attack, called it a horrific terrorist attack, the worst against Jewish people since the holocaust. He said it's time to reach a settlement to bring hostages home and that Hamas must be held accountable.
He also said that Cruz had voted against a bill that would have provided funding to Israel, as well as to Taiwan and Ukraine.
Cruz accused Allred of consistently lining up against Israel and said the bill he voted against would provide money to Gaza. He said he also voted in favor of a bill providing emergency weapons to Israel, and said Allred voted against it. When asked if
Israel bears any responsibility for the tens of thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza, Cruz said there is no country on Earth that fights a more humane, more targeted and more just war than the people of Israel.
