§2Who they are
Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Service in Congress since 2023
- 2023–2025U.S. Representative, TX-323
§3Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Colin Allred served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Colin Allred sponsored or cosponsored 21 of the 26. How bills die without a vote.

§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $50,000 supporting and $0 opposing Colin Allred this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through May 6, 2026.31
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Sea Action Fund | $50,000 | — |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§5Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
