After hearing their stories, Allred told the crowd that the laws that led to their experiences did not represent “his Texas.”Allred has made abortion access in Texas one of the key issues in his campaign against incumbent U.S. Senator Ted Cruz.“I am standing in front of you because so many Texans poured themselves into me. Teachers and coaches who went above and beyond when they weren't being paid enough. My local YMCA, where I went so much, they started letting me come for free.
“If you do this to Texas women, if you are seniorly responsible in a way that almost no other Texan can claim to be, because you put the judges on the court who took this right away, because you helped elect the legislators who passed these laws at the state level, because you called for these laws to be passed, because you celebrated when they were passed, then you should lose your job,” Allred said.
Allred referred to November’s election as the “most important of our lifetime,” and urged the crowd to join campaign efforts like block walking, phone banking and other outreach.
