Senate Democrats announce TV ad buy in support of Allred
DALLAS - Senate Democrats are looking to give Colin Allred a boost in his race against Ted Cruz.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced a multi-million dollar TV ad buy in both Texas and Florida to support Allred and Florida Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
"Senate Democrats are expanding the map and going on offense," said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Gary Peters in a statement.

A release from the committee says more money for TV ads will likely be added as the race continues.
The majority of polls show Ted Cruz with a lead over Allred, his Democratic challenger, but the margins have dropped in recent months.
The two candidates have agreed to a debate on October 15.
Cruz is seeking a third term in the US Senate. Allred has served as a Congressman representing the Dallas area since 2019.
Election Day is Nov. 5, 2024.
