Ted Cruz campaigns in Nacogdoches, Tyler ahead of Election Day
Posted/updated on: October 26, 2024 at 10:46 pmTYLER â As we get closer to election day, the Texas Senate race is on and Senator Ted Cruz made several stops in East Texas along his campaign trail. According to our news partner KETK, Senator Cruz visited two local cities, stopping first in Nacogdoches at CCâs Smokehouse. 411 East Texans crowded into the restaurant on Friday to hear him speak. Cruz and his team then moved on to the city of Tyler in Smith County where he greeted local voters.
He spoke to the packed rooms about his list of accomplishments over the last 12 years in Washington and on making the economy stronger for everyone and keeping Texas like Texas. At both stops Cruz said this is a race unlike any other which makes East Texas vital for voter turnout.
âI worked hand in hand with Donald Trump to secure the boarder and we achieved incredible success, we produced the lowest rate of illegal immigration in 45 years,â Cruz said.
âBecause they donât want to see Texas go the way of California they donât want to see high taxes and high regulations and jobs killed,â said Cruz.
âWe need East Texas to show up in massive numbers. Iâll say, if youâve voted already thatâs fantastic, go bring your friends and family to vote and if you havenât voted, early voting is this week and next please come out,â said Cruz. âThis race weâve seen a bunch of poles that show this is a one or two or three-point race.â
