HOUSTON — Colin Allred and the Democrats’ reckless economic policies are again proving to hurt our nation’s economy and cost thousands of Americans their livelihoods.
Last week, the National Review published an article that states the following in part.
“A multinational automaker prepared to lay off more than 2,000 American workers in August after benefiting handsomely from the Biden administration’s subsidies for electric-vehicle production.
“Stellantis, the parent company to famous brands like Ram and Jeep, has been awarded hundreds of millions in grants from the federal government to promote its EV manufacturing. But the Biden administration’s largesse has not prevented the company from laying off American workers.
Colin Allred has been a staunch supporter of investing in electric vehicles and similar policies at the cost of thousands of jobs.
COLIN ALLRED’S PRO ELECTRIC VEHICLE RECORD
- Voted for H.R. 3684, the Invest in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation (INVEST) in America Act
- Voted for H.R. 5376 Build Back Better Act
- At the center of these investments is a robust ten-year set of tax incentives totaling $320 billion for clean energy and manufacturing, transmission, and electric vehicles
- Allred touts supporting legislation that gives a tax credit of $7,500 for new electric vehicles and $4,000 for used ones
- Allred touts $85 Million in federal grants for electric vehicle infrastructure
“Texas is home to multiple large automobile manufacturing plants that employ thousands of hard-working Texans. Colin Allred already has a proven track record of supporting similar initiatives that have proven to result in the loss of industry jobs.
“If Colin Allred is elected to the U.S. Senate, he will without a doubt cater to the far-Left of his party and support legislation that will result in Texans who work in professions like the automobile industry losing their jobs.
“We live in a time when people across the nation can hardly afford to put dinner on the table because of the already disastrous economic policies spearheaded by Democrats and signed off by members like Colin Allred. To put it plainly, Texans literally cannot afford to live in a world with a Senator Allred.” —Cruz Campaign spokesperson
