“Congressman Colin Allred announced his campaign brought in an additional $11 million over the last sixteen days in his campaign to defeat Ted Cruz. To date, the campaign has raised more than $80 million, including $1 million the day after the Texas Senate Debate and $30 million in the third quarter,” says a statement from Dem Texas Congressman Colin Allred’s campaign.
In very much related news, NBC reports Chuck Schumer’s Senate Majority PAC is planning to spend $5 million on a TV ads across the Houston, Dallas and San Antonio media markets, the first big national Dem buy in the Lone Star State this cycle. Again, we’ll believe it when we see it, but Cruz is considerably more unpopular than he was when he last ran in 2018 given the whole Cancun thing and Allred is a just a better candidate than Beto O’Rourke. If not for Trump also being on the ballot we might seriously think Allred is favored. Probably a safe bet he’ll do better than O’Rourke.
