TX-33: Crockett backing Allred in Texas runoff

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Wednesday said she’s backing former Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas) in the runoff election against former Democratic Rep. Julie Johnson (Texas).

“Colin has the record, the grit, and the heart to stand up for working families and communities under attack by this administration. He will fight to abolish ICE and go toe to toe with Donald Trump to stop his extreme agenda,” Crockett said in a Wednesday statement.

“I’ve seen Colin’s fight firsthand. We worked together to bring hundreds of millions in federal investments to North Texas for affordable housing, health care, and transportation,” she added.

Allred dropped out of the Democratic Senate primary for the state earlier this year to back Crockett, who unsuccessfully ran for the party nomination against Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D).
