Former Rep. Colin Allred ends Texas Senate campaign and runs for new House seat
Colin Allred ends Senate bid to avoid a divisive primary and seeks to continue public service in Texas’ redrawn 33rd District, which includes neighborhoods he once represented.
- Colin Allred ended his U.S. Senate campaign and announced a run for Texas' newly drawn 33rd Congressional District next year, just hours before the Texas 2026 primaries filing deadline.
- Facing Crockett's likely entry and Talarico's bid, Allred had been campaigning since July 1 and trailed in an October hypothetical primary poll.
- District 33 now sits solely in Dallas County as an amalgamation of three Democratic seats, with both Colin Allred and U.S. Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Farmers Branch, running in the revamped district.

- Allred framed the run as a return to repair Congress, highlighting flipping the seat in 2018, outperforming Vice President Kamala Harris by about 5 points last year, and GOP-favorable map changes.
