TX-SEN: Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger to lead group of Republicans for Colin Allred
Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican who is one of the preeminent critics in his party of former President Donald Trump, will lead a GOP group backing U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, in his drive to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
Republicans for Allred will be co-chaired by Kinzinger, a former Illinois congressman who later moved to Texas and who has excoriated Trump’s transformation of the GOP, an Allred campaign spokesperson confirmed.
Kinzinger, who spoke during prime time at the Democratic National Convention in August, gained national prominence for serving on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. He was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his effort to overturn the 2020 election.
In 2022, Kinzinger withdrew his reelection bid after his district was eliminated in an overhauled Illinois congressional map.
