"Allred represented Texas's 32nd congressional district from 2019 to 2025. He unsuccessfully challenged Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2024, outperforming Vice President Kamala Harris in the state but still falling short with 44.6% of the vote to the Cruz's 53.1%. For the 2026 election, Allred was originally going after Texas's other senate seat, currently held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), but dropped out after Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) entered the race."
"Things got messy earlier this month when Allred posted a video on his social media claiming that Talarico had called him a mediocre Black man and endorsing Crockett in the Democratic Senate primary. Talarico denied the accusation, calling it a mischaracterization of a private conversation in which he said he described Congressman Allred's method of campaigning as mediocre but his life and service are not."
Colin Allred served as the representative for Texas's 32nd congressional district from 2019 to 2025 and ran for Senate in 2024, receiving 44.6% of the vote to Ted Cruz's 53.1%. He initially planned to challenge John Cornyn for the other Senate seat in 2026 but withdrew after Jasmine Crockett entered that race. Allred then sought re-election in the newly redistricted 33rd congressional district, facing Rep. Julie Johnson and other candidates. A controversy arose when Allred posted a video alleging James Talarico called him a "mediocre Black man," a claim Talarico denied as a mischaracterization of a private conversation.
