6. I really don't think Allred vs Gutierrez is in the same league as "blue dogs" versus "the squad"

They both have strengths.

Allred is in congress and hence has more national support. Gutierrez has worked hard as state senator. I wouldn't quite classify him as "progressive". He's more progressive than Allred, but not that much. This is not a Jessica Cisneros vs Henry Cuellar type of race.
