Democrat Colin Allred is running again for US Senate in Texas
SUMMARY: Former Texas congressman Colin Allred has launched a U.S. Senate bid to challenge Republican Sen. John Cornyn, who faces a tough primary against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. This marks Allred’s second Senate run after narrowly losing to Sen. Ted Cruz last year in a record-spending race that failed to deliver a Democratic victory. Allred aims to end Texas Democrats’ 30-year statewide election drought, positioning himself as a moderate championing abortion rights and economic opportunity. Former astronaut Terry Virts also entered the Democratic race. The GOP primary remains contentious, with President Trump yet to endorse either Cornyn or Paxton.
