SAN ANTONIO - Keeping our border protected is a key issue going into the November election. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar officially endorsed Democratic S
tate Representative Colin Allred for US Senate .
Congressman Allred is upping his south Texas reach. Allred says his endorsement from Salazar means all things dealing with the border and migrants top his priority list.Sheriff Salazar says Allred is the right candidate to represent Texas in the Senate. "You’ve got to reach across the aisle and work together. That’s why I’m whole heartedly supporting and endorsing my good friend Colin Allred for Senator," said Sheriff Salazar.“To be very clear, that would have helped us hire more border patrol agents, more immigration judges and had money for technology to help secure the border which would help alleviate some of the stress that some of our National Guards troops are having to carry," said Allred.
"It's nice that Colin Allred was able to pick up one endorsement from a sheriff — a Democrat who spoke at the DNC convention and received backlash from numerous other sheriffs from across the state for his remarks," Cruz said in a statement. "Senator Cruz has received the endorsement of over 80 county sheriffs — Democrats and Republicans alike.
"Ted Cruz has had 12 years. He’s refused to help us solve issues at the border. When I’m there, I will. We’ll do it in a bipartisan way and we’ll get it done," said Allred.
