Kim Ogg Endorses Ted Cruz for Senate

Democratic Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has endorsed Republican Senator Ted Cruz in his campaign for a third Senate term, citing their mutual interest in combating violent crime and a need for bipartisan cooperation. Ogg announced her support at a campaign event with Cruz, emphasizing that Americans want solutions over partisan excuses. The endorsement is significant, given Ogg's contentious history with local Democratic leaders, which includes her opposition to bail reform and investigations into Democratic officials. Cruz has been making efforts to appeal to bipartisan voters, recently launching 'Democrats for Cruz' to highlight his cross-party work. This endorsement is seen as a boost for Cruz in his race against Democratic challenger U.S. Rep. Colin Allred. Ogg and Cruz have also co-authored an op-ed and appeared together to promote legislation related to migrant detention and public safety.
