Allred's ability to bring in donations sets him apart in a large field of Democrats angling for the nomination to face Sen. Ted Cruz.
State Sen. Roland Gutierrez , left, is vying with U.S. Rep. Colin Allred for the Texas Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, hoping to face Sen. Ted Cruz in November 2024.WASHINGTON — With his leading rival reporting Sunday that he’s raised only $631,000 so far, Dallas congressman Colin Allred has emerged as the runaway favorite of Democratic donors aiming to topple Sen. Ted Cruz.
Of that, $2.4 million went directly to Cruz’s Senate campaign. The rest went to a pair of joint fundraising committees he controls. He sent $900,000 of that to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the party’s Senate campaign arm, and $390,000 to the Texas GOP.The senator’s $3.4 million haul from April to June lagged Allred’s by a wide margin, though he closed the gap somewhat in the next three months.
