Friend, I’m Colin Allred, and I’m running for U.S. Senate to defeat Ted Cruz and deliver better, stronger leadership for the people of Texas.

Winning in Texas will be a game-changer, and will all but guarantee Democrats are able to defend our razor-thin Senate majority. CNN is already calling Ted Cruz one of the most vulnerable Senators in the country — and despite what you’ve heard, Texas is flippable — if we invest seriously in getting out the vote.

That’s why I need you with me from today, my official launch day. Will you split $5 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and my friend Elissa Slotkin to help reach my ambitious Launch Day goal of $500,000? Every dollar you can spare will help us build a people-powered movement to defeat Ted Cruz, defend our Senate majority, and flip Texas blue. Please donate now →

Who am I? I’m a 4th generation Texan, born and raised in Dallas by a single mom. My mom was a public school teacher and sometimes worked two jobs to make ends meet. Thanks to my family and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the good folks at the YMCA, I earned a full ride football scholarship to Baylor University and then went on to play in the NFL.

But playing football was never my only dream – from a young age I knew I wanted to help people. So I became a civil rights attorney to defend what I believe is our most fundamental right: the right to vote. I proudly served in President Obama’s administration before I came home to Dallas, where I’m now raising my family.

I ran for Congress in 2018 because I wanted more kids in North Texas to have the opportunity to achieve their version of the American dream and protect the fundamental values of our democracy – and I beat the odds to defeat an 11-term Republican incumbent, helping Democrats flip the House blue in 2018. Elissa Slotkin and I were freshman representatives together, and we're part of a new generation of leaders ready to bring change to the Senate.

So now, I’m ready for my next challenge: taking on Ted Cruz. I know it won’t be easy, but I also know that Texans deserve so much better than Ted Cruz’s cynical partisan politics. Everything Ted Cruz does is for Ted Cruz – when I’m in the Senate, everything I do will be to help people like you. But I can’t get there alone:

That’s why I’m asking you to chip in right now to become a founding donor of my campaign on day one. We’re going to need an unprecedented grassroots movement to unseat Ted Cruz and I’m counting on you to be a part of it. Please, split $5 or whatever you can spare between my campaign and Elissa Slotkin’s to help win in Texas, defeat Ted Cruz and defend our Democratic Senate majority →

Thank you so much for helping me launch this campaign. We have a long way to go, but together, I know we’ve got what it takes to win this thing.

Let’s do this,

Colin Allred
