Jason, my story starts with my mom. She raised me on her own, taught in Dallas public schools, and worked a second job to make ends meet. We didn't have a lot of money, but our house was full of love.

Thanks to my mom and a strong support system of teachers, coaches, and the folks at our local YMCA, I earned a full-ride football scholarship to Baylor and went on to play in the NFL. It was a dream come true.

Fast forward 15 years, I'm running for Senate because I want more Texas kids like me to have those same opportunities.

We deserve better than Senator John Cornyn and his GOP primary opponent, Ken Paxton, who both continue to stand with billionaires over working people.

The good news is that Texans agree: Some of the first polls for this race show me
in the lead.

But Republicans will spend millions to crush our early momentum, and the only way I can defeat them is with folks like you by my side, Jason. Will you chip in $5 or more now to help power our campaign forward, flip this seat, and deliver the bold leadership Texans deserve?

My journey looks a bit different than most, and I'm proud of that. Thank you for being part of our movement.

– Colin Allred

 
 

Colin's race for U.S. Senate in Texas is going to be one of the most consequential elections in 2026.

 

Early polling shows he has a real shot at winning, but to set Colin up for success, we need a huge outpouring of grassroots support.

 

Republicans are gearing up to spend MILLIONS to defend this seat. Colin needs folks like you helping him fight back every step of the way now through Election Day. Can he count on your support?
