John – – when Colin and Lucy ran for Congress in 2018, the odds were stacked against both of them. His opponent was a Republican Congressman who had held his seat for 11 terms. Colin and our team put everything we had into the campaign – but just 48 days from the election, the polls gave Colin a 10% chance of winning, and the district was leaning Republican. In the last days of the campaign, Colin worked day and night to connect with Texans and earn their votes. He slowly chipped away at his opponent's lead as voters got to know him. By Election Day, he had a 37% chance of victory. And when the numbers finally came in, he won with 52% of the vote. Split a donation between Lucy McBath and Colin Allred to defeat Ted Cruz → John, this time around we're facing an even bigger opponent: Ted Cruz. But we're starting this race with much better odds. Polls show Colin just 5 points down with 14% of voters undecided. What's more, Ted Cruz only won reelection by 2.6% last time. We have a clear path to victory, and all it's going to take is connecting with enough undecided voters. That's why Colin is on the road traveling to every corner of Texas, shaking every hand he can and listening to what voters have to say. - Team Allred
