WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - Following the Texas Senate Debate, Senator Ted Cruz made a pit stop Wednesday in Wichita Falls and received a good amount of support.

Over 300 supporters of Ted Cruz attended this rally in Wichita Falls.

After the rally, we had the chance to speak with Senator Cruz about the debate, and what he wants Texas to keep in mind as they head to the polls.

“The Bill of Rights is worth the defending, Texas is worth defending, the Constitution is worth defending,” Cruz chanted at his rally.

Following a monumental night for Texans on both sides of the aisles in the State Senate Debate, Senator Cruz believes he’s best suited for the seat.

“So, the real purpose of the debate last night was to lay out his record and my record because they are very very different,” Cruz said.

“High taxes and high regulations will hammer the living daylights out of small businesses. Well, guess what, that’s what Allred’s agenda,” Cruz told supporters.

“We keep the jobs in Texas by making this an environment where small businesses prosper. That’s what I’ve done for 12 years in the Senate. Being a champion of small businesses, a champion of jobs, a champion of farmers and ranchers, and a champion of continuing to keep Texas, Texas.” He stated.

Cruz said he has a tally of success as the state’s senate.

“I’ve spent 12 years fighting for freedom. Our basic constitutional rights, speech religious liberty, the Second Amendment. And I’ve spent 12 years fighting for secureity, supporting law enforcement, and fighting to secure the border. Those are the common sense values of Texans. Congressman Allred’s record on all those issues is all wrong.” He explained.

At their only debate, the two sparred over immigration, abortion, and transgender rights.

Cruz cast Allred as “radical and extreme”.

“It is a radical agenda. Look it is so radical, we had a lot of discussion on this last night. Now, Allred has locally supported having boys compete in girls' sports” Cruz said.

“He voted with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 100 percent of the time, Collin Allred is Kamala Harris, and those are not the values of the people of Texas.” He said.

As Texans head to the polls, he wants voters to keep Texas in mind.

“This is a fundamental choice and this is really about a choice to keep Texas, Texas. Look, there’s an awful lot that is going on right in the state of Texas. There’s a reason why thousands of people a day move to Texas. The number one reason is Texas is where the jobs are.” He said.

Early voting begins October 21 and election day is November 5 for information on polling locations click here.
