The Texas Democratic Party is taking a shot at Republican Ted Cruz with a mailer that showed up in Texas mailboxes last week.

Some Texas voters received a postcard that read “Greetings from Ted Cruz in Cancun. There’s no frost here.”

The postcards, which feature a beach scene with a photo of Cruz with his rolling suitcase superimposed on the front, read: “Dear Texan, I know it’s freezing and you wish you were here. It’s much warmer in Cancun. Enjoy the freeze.” The postcards are signed “Ted” with a disclaimer that says: “This is not really from Ted Cruz. It was about him. The return address lists a post office box registered with the Texas Democratic Party.

Some Texas voters may have recently received a “postcard.” Texas Democrats say the mailer is intended to remind voters that Ted Cruz left the state during a 2021 freeze.

The photo was taken at a Houston airport in 2021 while Cruz left Texas with his family as the state battled a deadly freeze.

Cruz spoke about the trip during a recent interview for Texas: the problem is.

“Yes, it’s true that that day I was acting like a father in addition to being a senator,” Cruz said. “I took my kids to a place where they could be warm. I spent a day there, turned around and came back to Texas.”

Although the postcards were sent nearly four years after the winter storm, Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Monique Alcala said Texans remember where they were when the storm hit.

“Every Texan remembers where they were when Ted Cruz fled to the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun during Winter Storm Uri. He abandoned us when we needed him most. 5 November, the Texans are going to send Ted on permanent vacation,” Acala said. said.

Cruz is currently engaged in a battle with Rep. Colin Allred for his Senate seat.

The race is here the most expensive Senate race in the country both candidates having raised millions of dollars.

The Cruz campaign has not yet responded to a request for comment.
