Allred Opens Senate Campaign With First Stump Talk
Former Governor James V. Allred, from Wichita Falls, launches his U.S. Senate bid with a first personal appearance set for June 2. He follows the pattern of his opponent Dan Moody and campaigns in his boyhood Taylor, Williamson County, while Moody's Taylor rally faced rain and was moved to a high school auditorium. Moody and Allred, both former governors and attorneys general, clash with incumbent W Lee O'Daniel who has not yet filed. Moody questions O'Daniel's voting record and readiness, implying wider support exists among Texas voters to decide the race.
