The Texas Tribune reports:
U.S. Rep. Colin Allred outraised his Democratic Senate primary opponents and Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign in the last quarter of 2023, though Cruz continues to bring in more cash through his other fundraising operations.
Allred’s campaign raised over $4.8 million from October through December last year, while Cruz’s campaign raised roughly $3.4 million, according to reports filed Wednesday.
Allred finished the quarter with over $10 million in cash on hand, compared to Cruz’s $6.2 million. He had outraised Cruz’s official campaign the previous quarter as well, bringing in $4.7 million to Cruz’s $3.1 million.
Read the full article. In 2018, Cruz squeaked by Beto O’Rourke by just 2.6 points. As you can see below, Allred is polling strongly.
With a new poll showing popular former NFL player and current Rep. Colin Allred just 1 point behind in the latest poll with strong fundraising, Ted Cruz says McConnell has abandoned him and he’s starting to sound concerned about his re-election. https://t.co/Xq8sTSFuDq
