“Texas Democrats are fired up and ready to beat Ted Cruz,” said Gilberto Hinojosa, chair of the Texas Democratic Party. “This is a historic partnership that will help galvanize grassroots excitement for Congressman Allred across our state. One conversation at a time, with Texans talking to Texans – we are going to send Ted Cruz packing.”
The coordinated campaign does not allow candidates to share money across the board. Candidates for state office face restrictions in sharing financial resources with federal candidates.— 100 days before Election Day. Former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Amanda Zurawski, an Austin woman who sued Texas over its abortion restrictions and has since become a Democratic campaigner, will both be present.
Texas is a top target for Senate Democrats this year along with Florida. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, announced it was dedicating resources to the race earlier than in past cycles in a sign of optimism. But the committee must also defend several vulnerable incumbents in otherwise Republican states, including Montana and Ohio, which have been higher in the party’s priorities as it works to maintain its thin majority.
Some Democratic campaigns for U.S. House have coordinated in the past. U.S. Rep. Martin Frost, a North Texas Democrat, coordinated with other candidates to turn out the Democratic vote in the 1990s, Angle said. But Angle said it was not on a statewide scale.
