Kinzinger To Chair New “Republicans For Allred” Group

The Texas Tribune reports:

Former U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican who is one of the preeminent critics in his party of former President Donald Trump, will lead a GOP group backing U.S. Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, in his drive to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.

Republicans for Allred will be co-chaired by Kinzinger, a former Illinois congressman who later moved to Texas and who has excoriated Trump’s transformation of the GOP, an Allred campaign spokesperson confirmed.

The group will be co-chaired by former state Rep. Jason Villalba, R-Dallas, according to a Thursday news release. Other members include former Dallas Mayor and U.S. Rep. Steve Bartlett, former state representative and Texas House Elections committee chairman Todd Smith.

I’m proud to launch Republicans for Allred with my friend @AdamKinzinger, as co-chair.

My campaign is open and welcome to conservatives like him, and any Republican ready to turn the page on Ted Cruz. pic.twitter.com/ebJwWVM0L3
