2024 TX Senate race: on Principles & Values
Colin Allred:
Grew up with US as leader of the free world, and we are
I grew up learning about the United States being the leader of the free world. And that's what we are. And we can't allow this to happen.
So to me, our support for Ukraine has been vital. It's been the right thing to do is to continue to support them. I believe that they will win.

Colin Allred:
Fourth-generation Texan; graduate of Baylor University
My story is a uniquely Texas story. I am a fourth-generation Texan, and I was born and raised in Dallas by a single mom who was a public school teacher. With help from my aunt and uncle, my mom and I moved to North Dallas, where my mom, aunt and uncle
still live a street apart. When not at a YMCA camp, I often spent summers visiting my grandmother in Brownsville, where my mom was raised and where my grandfather was a customs officer after fighting in the Pacific with the Navy in World War II.
After graduating from Hillcrest, I earned a full-ride scholarship to play football at Baylor and trained for the NFL draft in Houston. My wife, Aly, and I are proud to be raising our family here in Dallas and I could not be more excited about
my boys' future as Texans. People from across this state have shaped me into who I am today and I know we are so much better than Ted Cruz makes us out to be.

Carl Sherman:
DeSoto's first Black Mayor; orchestrated DeSoto's turnaround
Texas needs a Senator who prioritizes people over partisanship. One who fights for all Texans and doesn't leave anyone behind. He is a champion for democracy, a thriving economy, and civil liberties. His unique background as a small-town city manager, a
seasoned businessman, a former suburban mayor, and a dedicated senior pastor equips him to understand and address the diverse challenges faced by rural, suburban, and urban Texans.Sherman is a man of action, not empty rhetoric, ensuring his policies
yield tangible results that enhance the lives of his constituents. He's a reformer, an outsider who bridges political divides, offering a fresh perspective to Texas politics.
As DeSoto's first Black Mayor, he orchestrated a remarkable turnaround,
boosting economic development and affordable housing. In the Texas House of Representatives, he authored bipartisan police reform in the wake of George Floyd's tragic murder and secured funding for UNT Dallas.

Ted Cruz:
Democrats are "radical and extreme" & fueled inflation
Cruz cast Colin Allred as "radical and extreme." He sought to tie Allred to Vice President Kamala Harris, alleging the two "voted in favor of open borders over and over" and were both responsible for fueling a surge in inflation under the
Biden administration. "We're doing an awful lot right in the state of Texas," Cruz opened the debate. "Colin Allred wants to change that. I want to keep Texas, Texas."

Ted Cruz:
OpEd: the conservative firebrand whom liberals love to hate
State representative Carl Sherman announced the long-awaited start of his U.S. Senate campaign against Ted Cruz, the conservative firebrand whom liberals love to hate. Sherman is the third prominent Democrat to throw his hat in the ring, following
Dallas-area congressman Colin Allred and state senator Roland Gutierrez, of San Antonio. All of the Democrats in the race are hoping that one of them can finish what former U.S. congressman
Beto O'Rourke started in 2018, when he electrified the Democratic grass roots and came within 3 percentage points of ousting Cruz.
But that's no easy feat: at its core, Texas is still a Republican-leaning state that will require a strong Democratic candidate to win.
