ICYMI: WaPo – Club for Growth Action Spend 8 Figures Supporting Cruz In TXSEN & New Digital Ad
Washington, D.C. – In case you missed it, The Washington Post’s Patrick Svitek published an exclusive report on Club for Growth Action’s announcement that the organization plans to spend 8 figures in support of Sen. Ted Cruz’s reelection and his campaign against Colin Allred. The group also released a new digital ad, “Left Tackle,” highlighting Allred’s support of Biden’s radical economic policies that are driving inflation and crushing Texas families.
“Club for Growth Action has been strongly behind Sen. Ted Cruz since he was first elected, and we plan to spend 8 figures in his race against Biden’s MVP Rep. Colin Allred. Allred has a long record of siding with Biden on the leftist policies wrecking the economy and driving inflation and dangerous crime. Despite his claims of bipartisanship, Allred’s record shows he’s blindly loyal to one team – the radical Democrats. In stark contrast, Ted Cruz has spent his career effectively fighting the radical policies that are crushing families, which Allred will have to defend until election day.” – David McIntosh, Club for Growth Action.

Story Excerpts:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and his allies are mobilizing to prevent a repeat of his near-miss reelection race in 2018 that shook up politics in traditionally red Texas.
The Club for Growth [Action], an influential conservative group, told The Washington Post on Wednesday it will spend at least $10 million to defend Cruz against the newly minted Democratic nominee, Colin Allred.
The group — and other Cruz boosters — are working to tie the Dallas-area congressman to President Biden, who remains deeply unpopular in Texas.
“Club for Growth Action has been strongly behind Sen. Ted Cruz since he was first elected, and we plan to spend 8 figures in his race against Biden’s MVP Rep. Colin Allred,” the group’s president, David McIntosh, said in a statement that nodded to Allred’s background as a former National Football League player.

The Club for Growth [Action’s] opening salvo — a 90-second digital ad — also casts Allred as too liberal for Texas and shows him repeatedly praising Biden. Allred downplayed the role of Biden in the race, saying it will be about “Texans talking to Texans,” and promised to be an “independent voice” in the Senate.
