Former Congressman Colin Allred joined me on
#PoliticsNation to discuss the road ahead for Democrats in Texas, the growing battle over voting rights, and what is at stake in the fight for representation across the South.
We discussed the Texas Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton, the impact of redistricting on Black political representation, and the concerns many have raised about efforts to weaken the gains secured through the Voting Rights Act.
Congressman Allred also spoke about the importance of engaging Black voters, the need for new leadership and new ideas, and why he believes restoring trust in government is essential to defeating cynicism and strengthening our democracy.
