End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller released the following statement congratulating Congressman Colin Allred on winning the Democratic primary in TX-32:
“Congratulations to Congressman Allred on his win tonight. Since he arrived in Congress in 2019, he has spent every single day doing everything he can to help the people of North Texas and push back on the corrupt special interests in Washington. From securing the funds to build a new VA health facility in Garland, to introducing legislation that would make it a felony to use or create an American shell company to conceal illegal political spending by foreign nationals, to speaking out against Texas’ extremist restrictive voting law and pushing for legislation that would protect the freedom to vote, Congressman Allred has already accomplished so much for the people of North Texas, and we look forward to seeing him win in November and continue to make progress in Washington.”
ECU // LAV endorsed Congressman Allred last June because of his dedication to protecting the voice and vote of every Texan, his proven track record of speaking out against radical, anti-voter politicians, and his rejection of corporate PAC money, which proves that he is accountable only to the people of Texas, not corporate special interests. In December 2021, Congressman Allred joined ECU // LAV President Tiffany Muller to discuss the egregious partisan and racially gerrymandered maps that GOP politicians in states like Texas were passing, and the need for Congress to pass legislation to end partisan gerrymandering to ensure every voter has fair and equal representation.
ECU // LAV is a leading anti-corruption and voting rights group. The grassroots-funded political action committee raised and spent $65.5 million in the 2020 election cycle to elect candidates fighting to limit the influence of Big Money in politics and protect the freedom to vote. ECU // LAV has more than four million members nationwide, including over 17,000 in TX-32.
