Colin Allred represents Texas’s 32nd Congressional District. He was inspired to run in 2018 because, now more than ever, we need leaders who will stand up for everyone. Colin is a former football linebacker, who later pursued a JD, served in the Obama Administration under the Housing and Urban Development Department, and the US Attorney’s office. Among his projects at HUD, Colin worked with Congress and the Office of the Inspector General to ensure that public funds were spent wisely and that the Department complied with all applicable ethics laws and regulations. Colin currently sits on the Committee of Foreign Affairs, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Veteran’s Affairs. Born and raised in North Dallas by a single mom who taught in Texas public schools for nearly 30 years, Colin was an All-Star athlete at Hillcrest High School before earning a full-ride football scholarship to Baylor University. He deferred his acceptance to the University of California Berkeley School of Law when he signed with the Tennessee Titans. Colin and his wife Aly have a newborn son and live in East Dallas.
