“Texans’ enthusiasm to retire Ted Cruz – and to elect Colin Allred to the Senate – is reflected in this quarter’s amazing outpouring of grassroots support,” Allred’s campaign manager, Paige Hutchinson, said in a statement. Allred also transferred $2.4 million from his House campaign account during the second quarter. He made a much smaller transfer during the latest quarter, about $60,000.

Cruz’s campaign told Fox News he has over $6.7 million cash on hand across the three committees, which are Ted Cruz for Senate, his campaign committee; Ted Cruz Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee; and Jobs, Freedom & Security PAC, a leadership political action committee. Leadership PACs are groups that prominent politicians often use to raise money to support other candidates, and they cannot spend the funds directly on their own campaign efforts.
