Democratic Rep. Colin Allred scored a new endorsement from a former Republican elected official as he makes his final push to unseat Ted Cruz in the upcoming Texas Senate elections.
The person in question is former state Rep. Jason Villalba, who held office between 2013 and 2019. In a newly-released ad, Villalba said he has been a Republican all his life, but Allred "has the character I look for in candidates." "I vote for the candidates that I believe have the best values," adds his wife Brooke.
