 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - June 8, 2023

WASHINGTON D.C. - Foreign Policy for America announced today its endorsement of Representative Colin Allred for election to the U.S. Senate. Rep. Allred is currently a member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Texas’ 32nd District, where he is serving his third term in Congress. Rep. Allred was first elected to represent TX-32 in 2018.

“Colin Allred is a proven leader and a dedicated public servant – someone who has been working across the aisle on behalf of his constituents since his first days in office,” said Andrew Albertson, executive director of Foreign Policy for America. “Throughout his tenure on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Colin has been an effective champion for diplomacy first foreign policy that keeps our country safe and out of conflicts. He’s worked to advance the economic interests of North Texas by promoting cross-border trade and smart immigration policies. He's exactly the kind of serious, no nonsense leader we need more of in the U.S. Senate, and that’s why we’re so proud to endorse him today.”

Prior to his time in Congress, Rep. Allred spent five seasons playing in the NFL before working as a voting rights attorney for the international law firm Perkins Coie. He also previously served a special assistant in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of General Counsel under President Barack Obama. In his third term, Rep. Allred is committed to building international partnerships that promote supply chain resiliency, increasing the U.S.’ diplomatic presence and outreach around the globe, and supporting U.S. veterans to ensure that they get the best possible care. In addition to his membership on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Allred is a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. He also serves on the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee and as a Chief Deputy Whip for the Democratic Party.

“I will always work to ensure we lead with American values and our foreign policy helps deliver for our state,” said Congressman Allred. “From national security to trade to manufacturing microchips and ensuring we can compete with nations like China and lead the world — Texans are directly impacted by our foreign policy every day. I’m honored to earn the endorsement of Foreign Policy for America and look forward to continuing to advance our shared Texas and American values on the global stage.”

Rep. Allred is the second candidate FP4A has endorsed in the 2024 election cycle, joining Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI-Sen). Our endorsed candidates are chosen because of their consistent leadership in favor of diplomacy-first foreign policy.
