“Colin Allred and the Texas Democrats are putting their radical platform on display for all Texas voters to see. A platform that supports transitioning minors, men playing in women’s supports, unrestricted abortion, and open borders. Colin Allred has shown Texans just how extreme he really is and they won’t forget it come November.” –Cruz campaign spokesperson
