HRC Endorses Colin Allred for U.S. Congress<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

HRC announced its endorsement of Colin Allred for U.S. Congress in Texas’ 32nd Congressional District.<\/p>\n

During the 2017 legislative session in Texas, Allred was an outspoken critic of the anti-transgender legislation SB6. Allred, a former NFL player, signed onto a letter<\/a> opposing the legislation, authored by Athlete Ally. Allred is a civil rights attorney and a North Texas native.<\/p>\n

\u201cColin Allred has been a consistent ally to the LGBTQ community, and he would continue to be one if elected to Congress,\u201d said Marty Rouse, national field director for the Human Rights Campaign. \u201cHRC is proud to endorse Colin Allred and fight alongside him to ensure that all Texans are represented in Congress, no matter who they are, what they look like, or whom they love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to receive the Human Rights Campaign endorsement,\u201d said Colin Allred. \u201cAs a civil rights attorney and ally, I have seen the struggles of the LGBTQ community. In Congress, I will fight for equality alongside the Human Rights Campaign. Together, we will move one step closer to achieving equal rights for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, HRC<\/a> had more than a dozen staff on the ground in Austin, and, working with scores of volunteer organizers, led field organizing efforts around the state to defeat anti-LGBTQ bills in the Texas legislature. HRC has worked alongside Equality Texas, ACLU of Texas, Texas Freedom Network, the Transgender Education Network of Texas and others to defeat dangerous or harmful bills that seek to undermine the rights and dignity of LGBTQ Texans. HRC continues to have full-time staff in the Lone Star State.<\/p>\n
