Allred, Cruz in the final stretch of U.S. Senate campaigns [Video]

The race for U.S. Senate is in the final stretch for Texas voters

Congressman Colin Allred is vying for incumbent Ted Cruz’s Senate seat.

Both are making their final pitches to voters during the last week of early voting.

On Wednesday, Allred several campaign stops in the Rio Grande Valley, while Cruz focused his campaign efforts in Georgetown and Brenham.
