About this listen

 Born and raised in North Texas by a single mom who was a Dallas public school teacher, Congressman Colin Allred earned a full-ride football scholarship to Baylor University. He deferred his acceptance to law school to play in the NFL where he was a linebacker for five seasons before sustaining a career-ending injury that opened the door for him to fulfill his other dream -- becoming a civil rights attorney. After serving in President Obama's administration, Allred moved home to Dallas to run for Congress where he defeated an entrenched Republican incumbent and now represents Texas’ 32nd District, where he and his wife are raising their two children. Allred’s work in Congress is guided by his dedication to helping hardworking families gain the same opportunities he had to chase his version of the American dream.
