Rep. Colin Allred (D-TX) is preparing to announce he will run for the U.S. Senate in Texas as early as this week, according to reports.
The former NFL player-turned-civil rights attorney has been preparing a run for the Democrat nomination in Texas to challenge Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Politico reported Monday, citing two sources, as did the Dallas Morning News, citing four sources.
The congressman is in his third term after unseating Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) in 2018. He is reportedly well-liked within the House Democratic Caucus and has also held positions in leadership. He currently serves House Minority Whip Katherine Clark’s (D-MA) team and was part of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) big leadership team.

He appears to be the next Irish Bob.
Are Colin and Gloria Allred related?
Are the Texas Dems finally giving up on trying to find a career for Beto?
Was he a backup punter or something? Flat out never heard of that name as anything but someones 2nd cousin twice removed.
The new Beto. Dems are already in love because of his single qualification.
That said, Cruz is always going to be vulnerable because bitter Trump folks on the right can't let go of 2016, and he is hated as much as Trump on the left.
He’ll play big in the liberal held cities. Ted has had close calls, so this might be it for him. Regardless, Ted has my vote
Gloria Allred was married by a minister named Wilma Mankiller.
Well, if they run a credible candidate, I suspect Lyn’ Ted will be done.
Democrats need not apply.
He’ll get wide support because he has a “D” next to his name. Pathetic.
This Texan loves Ted Cruz. Especially when he is paired up against ANY democrat.
John Cornyn on the other hand, is a dirty, low down, back-stabbing prick who I would love to see tossed out on his keister.
I hope so!
Mankiller, huh? I’ll bet she’s a lot of fun at parties, sarc.
Never heard of him either but he’s an NFL punk and civil rights attorney. Sounds like an azzho to me.
Former QB, RAT, civil rights atty. Yeah sure, another Biden advocate, don’t see it in TX.
Are you going to volunteer for Allred?
No, I’m not in Texas, and I would not do that anyway. I’m just pointing out that Lyn’ Ted barely survived reelection only with the help of Trump against a weak candidate Beto. No way he survives against a credible candidate. Time for him to look for a new job, may be as a dog catcher.
“He won’t even get 10 NFL players to vote for him, “
I really don’t know why they wouldn’t vote for him.
