NBC News projects that Colin Allred defeated Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic runoff for Texas’ 33rd District. The race followed Allred’s move from a Senate bid to a House seat reshaped by redistricting.
NBC News projects that former Rep. Colin Allred defeated Rep. Julie Johnson in the Democratic primary runoff for the Dallas-area 33rd District. Allred led Johnson in the March 3 first-round primary, but neither candidate received a majority, sending the race to a runoff. Allred had left the Senate race and entered the House contest after Rep. Jasmine Crockett joined the Senate race.
Immigration was a campaign flash point. Allred faced criticism over a past vote for a Trump-backed immigration detention law and later called to abolish ICE and move its functions to other agencies. Johnson said she had an independent money manager and that her Palantir stock had been sold. The article also reports that Rep. Christian Menefee defeated Rep. Al Green in another Texas House primary.
