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.

Is Beto tired of running for office in Texas? Perhaps, he should try Oklahoma

I really don’t know why they wouldn’t vote for him.

They probably never heard of him. Or, they don't want a democrat who would likely vote against their rich lifestyles. Democrats are anti-rich, unless it personally affects their own wealth. It's the Hollywood elites' hypocrisy syndrome.

Ted Cruz won by only 2% last election, so he could be vulnerable.
