Colin Allred wants to return to Congress. But his choice to run in the new 33rd Congressional District—and against the successor he endorsed in 2024, US Rep. Julie Johnson—sparked criticism. LGBTQ+ advocates said Allred shouldn’t try to oust the first lesbian elected to federal office in the South.

Watch as Allred defends his decision during a press conference in Dallas on Monday. The Democratic primary, which is March 3, also includes attorney and tech executive Zeeshan Hafeez and perennial candidate Carlos Quintanilla.
