In a powerful testament to Colin Allred’s growing momentum, three of Texas' most influential newspapers—The Houston Chronicle, Austin American-Statesman, and Dallas Morning News—have officially endorsed him in his bid for the U.S. Senate. Each endorsement is a reflection of Allred's track record, his bipartisan approach, and the growing dissatisfaction with Ted Cruz’s tenure.
Houston Chronicle: "Texas Needs Allred to Hold the Center"
The Houston Chronicle, known for its focus on clear-headed analysis, hailed Allred as “solid, smart, and dedicated to his responsibilities.” Their endorsement cuts to the heart of the argument against Cruz, reminding readers of his well-documented failures, from his infamous Cancun getaway during Winter Storm Uri to his support of divisive policies. The editorial board praised Allred’s focus on comprehensive immigration reform and his support for women’s reproductive rights—issues central to Texans. They emphasized the need for someone who shows up for their constituents and remains committed to bipartisan solutions.
Austin American-Statesman: "Texans Need a New Leader"
Echoing sentiments of change, The Austin American-Statesman lambasted Cruz as a figure who has become more focused on “owning the libs” than on meaningful policy. The editorial board praised Allred for his ability to work with both parties, citing his legislative record as proof of his potential to make a real difference in the Senate. Texans, the board urged, should seek a “fresh start” with a leader like Allred, who represents responsibility and progress, especially in areas such as women's rights and immigration reform.
Dallas Morning News: "A Willingness to Compromise for Solutions"
Closer to home, The Dallas Morning News endorsed Allred as a voice of reason and a bridge-builder. The newspaper noted Allred’s consistent willingness to compromise for the greater good, contrasting sharply with Cruz’s pattern of political obstructionism. Highlighting his role in supporting key bipartisan legislation, the Morning News underscored the fact that Allred doesn’t play political games—he delivers results. His pragmatic approach to governance stands in stark contrast to Cruz’s divisive tactics, making Allred, in their view, the best candidate to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate.
Why This Matters for Texas
With endorsements from Texas’ leading editorial boards, Colin Allred’s Senate run has picked up undeniable momentum. Each newspaper has made it clear: the state needs a new direction, one driven by bipartisan cooperation, not political theater. While Cruz continues to cater to extreme elements, Allred is being recognized as the leader who can restore dignity and purpose to the Senate seat.
These endorsements also reflect a broader recognition of Allred’s personal journey—from being raised by a single mother in Dallas to becoming a standout NFL player, and now a public servant. His character, resilience, and commitment to the people of Texas have made him the best option for voters seeking a candidate who will deliver real solutions in Washington.
Houston Style Magazine readers, as the election approaches, Texas faces a crucial decision: to continue with the polarizing antics of Cruz or to embrace Allred’s moderate, problem-solving leadership. For these newspapers—and increasingly for voters across the state—the choice is clear. Allred is Texas’ future.
