Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat, announced his candidacy on Monday to challenge incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the state’s 2024 U.S. Senate race.
Mr. Gutierrez, 52, represents a district along the southern border that includes San Antonio and the community of Uvalde—the location of the Robb Elementary School mass shooting of May 24, 2022 in which a lone gunman killed 19 students and two teachers, and wounded 17 others.
