A Democratic super PAC is hitting the airwaves in Texas, looking to boost Rep. Colin Allred by focusing on abortion in his underdog but increasingly competitive race against GOP Sen. Ted Cruz.

Senate Majority PAC, the party’s main outside group involved in Senate races, is planning to spend $5 million on a TV ad buy across the Houston, Dallas and San Antonio media markets, according to ad spending figures shared first with NBC News.

The buy marks the first significant outside spending on TV to bolster Allred’s campaign in the Republican-leaning state, although Senate Majority PAC announced last week it was making a “multi-million dollar” investment in digital and radio ads in Texas. Democrats haven't won a statewide race in Texas in 30 years, though they have forced some close contests in recent elections.

The group’s 30-second spot, which launches Friday, features an emergency physician named Nancy who says she has seen teenagers become pregnant after being raped and pregnant women with “severe complications.”

3. That's nearly what my GOTV Post-it notes said

So, I looked through DUer, Wednesdays' post yesterday and figured the thing I could get busy doing immediately was Post-it notes. I do a lot of walking through the neighborhood, through a local park, plenty of bus stops, and a college are usually along my route.

I used various phrases to avoid repeating stuff for those who might see more than one of my notes; after all, one slogan may work while another falls flat.

I think my favorite notes said:
Send Ted Cruz on a
permanent vacation.
VOTE!


And 2nd place would be

You can't fix stupid, but you can vote it out of office!
(I'm looking at you, Ted Cruz.)
- Vote! -

4. Send Ted Cruz on a permanent vacation. - The Allan B. Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas

6. Great minds DO think alike.

Send Cruz on a Cruise to Cancun.

In a float tube.

He already looks like a member of a drug cartel.

GREAT WORK. MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

5. It's a little late, guys!

Election is in 12 DAYS. And early voting began 3 days ago. The Texas primary was 7 months ago.

Why so damn late????
