Democratic Texas Rep. Colin Allred is getting another electoral boost from a Republican as he seeks to upset Ted Cruz in the state Senate race: former Rep. Adam Kinzinger's, who will co-chair a group called Republicans for Allred.
Kinzinger famously departed from the mainstream GOP after the January 6 Assault on the Capitol, even serving on the House committee that investigated the events. He was also one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 elections and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in August of this year. He withdrew his reelection bid in 2022 after his Illinois district was eliminated from the congressional map and moved to Texas.
