Colin Allred Wins Democratic Primary For U.S. Senate In Texas, Will Face Ted Cruz
HuffPost
The congressman from Dallas ran as a moderate, defeating a more progressive opponent.
Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) will try to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in a pivotal Senate contest this November.
Allred defeated state Sen. Roland Gutierrez and seven other Democrats on Tuesday in the Texas Democratic primary election for the U.S. Senate seat held by Cruz, who narrowly won re-election in 2018.
By winning more than 50% of the Democratic primary vote, Allred has avoided a runoff election against Gutierrez.
Allred has served in the House since 2019 and is a member of the moderate New Democrat Coalition. He played in the NFL before enrolling in law school and becoming a civil rights lawyer in the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Allred pitched himself as a smart strategic choice for Democrats, campaigning as a bipartisan cooperator and pointing to the fact that he defeated a long-serving incumbent Republican to win his House seat in the Dallas area.
