Dem former Texas Congressman Collin Allred is prepping another run for the Senate and will be launching his bid against likely opponent Picasso-faced Attorney General Ken Paxton early next month, the Washington Post reports. Allred, who lost to podcaster Ted Cruz by 8 percent last November, still outran former Vice President Kamala Harris by 6 percent in the Lone Star State and raised $94 million, so he could present quite a formidable challenge to Paxton.
