Our seniors have built the Texas we love. I'll fight to protect Social Security and Medicare in the Senate to ensure they can retire with dignity.

For folks living with asthma, inhalers aren’t optional, they’re a necessity. These cost caps for inhalers are a good step forward to lower health care costs, and in the Senate, I’ll keep fighting to put money back into the pockets of hardworking Texans.

The Iranian military’s airborne assault on the state of Israel is a deeply serious attack which will have vast consequences across the region. Our support for Israel remains steadfast as they counter this attack by Iran.

My family is from Brownsville and my grandfather was a customs officer. 

I know our border communities are places where Texans are working hard and I know they need real solutions. That’s why I’m fighting to address the border crisis and deliver results

Politicians like Ted Cruz have no business making medical decisions for Texas women. That’s why we’re going to fire him from the Senate and restore reproductive freedom in Texas.

When I toured President Lyndon B. Johnson’s boyhood home with his daughter Luci, it wasn’t the first time an Allred and a Johnson got together to talk about the future of our state. Here is my relative, former Governor of Texas James V. Allred with LBJ and President Franklin…

Being raised by a single mom who was a public school teacher, I saw firsthand how hard teachers work to give kids a chance to chase their dreams, and how we don't pay them enough. I'm proud to earn the endorsement of Texas AFT. In the Senate, I'll fight on behalf of our…

When it comes to the crisis at our border, Ted Cruz only wants to play political games. But our border communities need action. In November, we’ll elect a Senator dedicated to finding bipartisan solutions.

The ladders of opportunity that allowed me to go from Dallas ISD to the NFL and Congress were there in large part because of President LBJ. 

It was an honor to visit his boyhood home with his daughter, Luci. I will continue working to extend those same ladders to all Texans.

I am in awe of Amanda Zurawski’s bravery in telling her story. Sadly too many women in Texas have similar stories, having been denied the abortion care they need.

Ted Cruz supports Texas' cruel abortion ban that has put women like Amanda in this tragic position.

In the Senate,…

Our democracy safeguards our ability to practice our faith free from persecution. We must remember the common call to righteousness that runs through our faiths.

Thank you Rep. Salman Bhojani for having me at your interfaith Iftar. !

Freedoms are under attack by politicians like Ted Cruz. And if I know one thing about Texans, it is that we believe in freedom. As your Senator, I will fight to restore them.

When I was in the NFL, we used to say “check the tape because the tape doesn’t lie.”

For 12 years, Ted Cruz has proudly been one of our most partisan Senators. Texans are tired of his extremism, and we will fire him in November. texastribune.org/2024/04/10/ted…

Since my first day in Congress I have worked to make health care more affordable. I took on Big Pharma and won — voting to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month and lower drug costs for seniors on Medicare.

Ted Cruz voted no. I’ll be a Senator who does what’s best for Texas.…

Dallas ➡️ Johnson City ➡️ Fredericksburg ➡️ Laredo ➡️ Victoria ➡️ Houston ➡️ Irving.

Over 1,000 miles in four days.

I’m meeting Texans all over our state and together, we’re going to elect real leadership to the Senate that will actually get stuff done.

Once again the CHIPS Act is delivering for Texas, which is why I was proud to champion it.

Ted Cruz voted no, and he continues to choose partisan politics over creating jobs.

Let’s keep working together to build on this progress for Texas.

As Texas women are experiencing every day, extreme abortion bans like this are harmful and deny women the freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies.

We must restore abortion rights at the federal level, and in the Senate I will do just that. npr.org/2024/04/09/124…
