Father of Freed Russian Captive Criticizes Ted Cruz, Endorses Colin Allred

Joey Reed, father of former Marine Trevor Reed, condemns Cruz's inaction and supports Allred's Senate campaign.

Joey Reed released an ad criticizing Sen. Ted Cruz for not helping to free his son Trevor from Russian captivity.
Trevor Reed, a Marine veteran, was arrested in Russia in 2019 and held for nearly three years before a 2022 prisoner swap secured his release.
Cruz's office stated that public involvement could have worsened the situation due to Cruz's opposition to Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Joey Reed praised members of both parties, including Sen. John Cornyn and Rep. Colin Allred, for their efforts in securing Trevor's release.
Allred is leveraging Joey Reed's endorsement to boost his campaign against Cruz, who remains a prominent figure with strong name recognition.
