After overlooking O’Rourke, national Democrats show early confidence in Allred
Raw Story"After overlooking O’Rourke, national Democrats show early confidence in Allred" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues. WASHINGTON — With more than four months left before Election Day 2018, Democrat Beto O’Rourke had campaigned in all of Texas’ 254 counties in his bid to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. “And that's the first time that we've had this kind of national political money coming in to help one of our statewide candidates.” Matt Angle, director of the Lone Star Project, said Democrats outside of the state were much more interested in House races in 2018 than helping O’Rourke. That’s what I would expect: The DSCC first would have to protect their incumbents and Texas is a giant investment statewide for them.” Zack Malitz, who was the field director of O’Rourke’s 2018 campaign, said the campaign’s aggressive investments in recruiting a large volunteer network could help future Democratic candidates.
