The campaigning for the 2020 election has been intense and heated, with both Democrats and Republicans vying for control of various seats in the government. However, a recent complaint filed by Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign against Democratic Rep. Colin Allred is shedding light on alleged illegal activities in coordination with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
According to the complaint obtained by the Daily Caller, Allred and his Senate campaign are illegally coordinating with Schumer and the DSCC on television ads that have exceeded the coordinated party expenditure limit. This has resulted in potentially millions of dollars in excessive in-kind contributions from the DSCC to Allred, a clear violation of federal law.
The Cruz campaign is calling for immediate action by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to investigate and put a stop to these illegal activities. A spokesperson for the campaign stated, “Colin Allred’s campaign is blatantly coordinating with Chuck Schumer and the DSCC. We are calling on the FEC to immediately investigate and put a stop to this flagrant violation of federal law.”
The complaint specifically mentions four advertisements that the Cruz campaign believes to be qualifying as “hybrid ads.” These ads are a clear indication of coordination between the Allred campaign and the DSCC, which was previously acknowledged in an advisory opinion request presented to the Commission. However, the complaint argues that the DSCC has failed to abide by their own representations and must be held accountable for their actions.
It is concerning that a Democratic candidate would blatantly violate federal law and engage in illegal activities in order to gain an advantage in the election. This not only undermines the integrity of our election process, but it also calls into question the ethical standards of the candidate.
The Caller reached out to Allred’s campaign for comment on the complaint but did not receive an immediate response. This is troubling as it shows a lack of accountability and transparency on the part of the Allred campaign.

As Americans, we must demand fair and free elections where all candidates abide by the same rules and laws. The illegal coordination between Allred’s campaign, Chuck Schumer, and the DSCC is a blatant disregard for these principles and must be properly investigated by the FEC.

In this critical time in our nation’s history, it is more important than ever to ensure that our elections are conducted lawfully and without any illegal activities. I stand with Senator Cruz and his campaign in their call for an immediate investigation into these violations of federal law. Let us hold our candidates and political parties accountable for their actions and demand a fair and just electoral process.
