Meanwhile, the convention said in a news release that "thousands of Texas Democrats" will congregate in El Paso on June 6-8 with speakers from across the U.S.
"In Michigan we know what it takes to win Democratic seats up and down the ballot, and we know that when we win, we protect Americans’ freedoms and look out for working families," Whitmer said in a statement.
Allred said Texas "cannot afford six more years of Ted Cruz and his extreme politics" while cheering the second-term liberal governor's invitation.
