Largest Texas Newpaper Endorses Allred Over Cruz

From the Dallas Morning News editorial board:

We looked not only at their actions but also listened to their words, and, after doing so, we recommend voters cast their ballots for Rep. Colin Allred in the coming election.

Sen. Ted Cruz had the opportunity to support a step toward a solution with the bipartisan Lankford-Sinema bill that would have provided massive resources for border security. He refused, calling the bill a “steaming pile of crap.” Allred worked in favor of it, recognizing it as an imperfect but necessary step forward.

Cruz, could have supported the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to help rebuild our country. Sixteen Republican senators joined in supporting that act. But Cruz refused. In the House, Allred joined with Republicans and Democrats in voting yes.

Cruz could have supported the peaceful transfer of power in the 2020 presidential election. He instead was the first senator to rise in objection to certifying the electoral vote and one of just six to do so. His actions were a catalyst for what became one of the worst days in our nation’s history.
