After months of speculation, former Rep. Colin Allred launched his comeback Senate bid on Tuesday.

Despite losing to Sen. Ted Cruz in 2024 by nearly 9 percentage points, Allred will look to reverse his fortunes against whomever Republicans put up.

“Over the coming months my campaign is going to roll out a series of plans, and the first will be an anti-corruption plan,” Allred said in a launch video. “I hope you’ll join our team because I know you’ve got some fight left in you too.”
