Rep. Colin Allred's Plan to Defeat Ted Cruz

Published | Video Starts at 14:31

And should Ted Cruz and folks like him get his way, they will clamp down even further on the right to vote. And I will be the exact opposite in the Senate. I will expand and protect the right to vote, not to benefit Democrats, but to make sure that the will of the people is reflected in our elections. And that's what this is fundamentally about. When I used to register voters, I would never ask them who they were going to vote for. I just wanted them to vote. (14:31–14:40)
