Democratic Texas Rep. Colin Allred is preparing a Senate run against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, according to Politico.
Allred, who was a former NFL player before becoming an attorney, has been elected twice to Congress since he unseated Republican Rep. Pete Sessions, according to Politico. The congressman is expected to announce his candidacy for Cruz’ Senate seat as early as this week.
The congressman has racked up several leadership positions in the House, including being a member of then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California’s team, and currently is a part of House Minority Whip Katherine Clark of Massachusetts’ team, according to Politico. Allred, a civil rights attorney, also worked under former President Barack Obama’s administration in the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Ted’s been in there two terms and it was too close with Beto last time. Maybe he won’t run giving Abbott a next chapter, and Cruz could angle for a cabinet spot under Trump or DeSantis.

Not that I will vote for either of them. I am a firm believer in term limits. Two is enough. Go get a real job.
