Former Texas congressman Colin Allred launched another run for the U.S. Senate on Tuesday after the Democrat's challenge against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz last year broke records for spending but did not deliver his party the breakthrough it has sought for decades in the state.

Colin Allred is the first notable Democratic candidate in a Senate race that is likely to garner national attention and funding.

Dallas Democrat Colin Allred is running for Senate for the second time since 2024. His 2026 campaign is for the seat held by Republican John Cornyn.
