The statewide Democratic project will allow candidates across the ballot to share data and coordinate on grassroots operations.
U.S. Rep Colin Allred, D-Dallas, who is seaking a seat in the U.S. Senate , at a campaign kickoff hosted by the Travis County Democratic Party on July 21, 2024, in Austin., The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.and the Texas Democratic Party are launching a coordinated campaign to consolidate resources for races up and down the ticket, the party and Allred campaign announced Wednesday morning.
Having a coordinated campaign prevents duplicating outreach efforts by different Democratic candidates to the same audiences, said Matt Angle, director of the Lone Star Project. Allred is facing a Republican incumbent who is running an aggressive campaign and not taking anything for granted. Cruz has warned fellow Republicans against being complacent in the state and has more than twice as much money as he did at the same point in 2018. Cruz won the 2018 race by less than 3 percentage points. Growth of Texas’ suburban and urban centers has made the state even more competitive.
The Democratic consolidation differs from past Democratic statewide campaigns, which were largely solo operations. All Democratic candidates, from state House to U.S. House, tied in through the Texas Democratic Party can benefit from the consolidated resources. That includes Texas’ 15th Congressional District, where Democrat Michelle Vallejo is hoping to unseat the first-term U.S. Rep.. The race is the most competitive U.S. House race in Texas and is a top target for Democrats.
