“The Allred campaign can’t spin this, no matter how hard they try. The fact is that Allred has voted countless times for policies that directly harm Texas’s top industry. He’s shown his loyalty is to groups and radicals who support insane policies like the Green New Deal, not to hardworking Texans.” — Cruz Campaign spokesperson
