Texas Elections

Colin Allred has exited the Democratic primary for the Texas Senate and is instead launching a comeback bid for the U.S. House, saying he wants to avoid a “bruising Senate primary and runoff” that could hurt Democrats in the general election. He will run in a newly drawn Dallas–Fort Worth district that includes much of the area he represented from 2019–2025; most of that new district is currently represented by Rep. Marc Veasey, who plans to run in a neighboring district.
