Texas Democrats are making headlines for a surprising shift in allegiance, openly endorsing Republican Senator Ted Cruz in his bid for reelection.

As the state grapples with an ongoing border crisis, concerns about crime and public safety have prompted many traditionally Democratic voters to reconsider their positions.

With a staggering rise in illegal border crossings and crime rates impacting cities throughout Texas under the Biden-Harris administration, high-profile endorsements for Cruz have started to roll in from Democrats who recognize a need for change.

Notably, Kim Ogg, the district attorney in Harris County and a lifelong Democrat, has joined the ranks of Cruz supporters. Ogg's endorsement came during a law enforcement rally in Houston, where she stated, “We are seeing a problem at our border. My constituents hate crime and expect the government to keep them safe from criminals.”


Ogg pointed to tragic incidents involving illegal immigrants committing violent crimes, emphasizing that had Cruz’s proposed "Justice for Jocelyn Act" been law, a 12-year-old girl named Jocelyn Nungaray would still be alive today.

Senator Cruz has consistently championed strong border security measures and has voiced the need for reform in addressing crime stemming from lax immigration policies.

While critics may frame Cruz as polarizing, many voters view him as a stalwart defender of traditional Republican values and a proactive voice in the fight against crime—issues that outweigh partisan divides for an increasing number of voters at the ballot box.

With crime being a leading concern among residents, endorsements for Cruz are coming from a coalition of concerned citizens, including law enforcement officials and border sheriffs, who have traditionally been aligned with the Democratic Party.

These endorsements highlight the urgency felt across Texas regarding the safety of communities and the necessity for effective governance in tackling crime and securing the border.

As the election approaches, it’s clear that the effects of the current administration's policies have driven many Democrats to support Cruz’s vision for a safer and more secure Texas.
