Colin Allred

ON THE ISSUES

• Secured over $100 million to electrify public transportation systems around Dallas through his work on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee
• Voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, the most significant action Congress has ever taken to address climate change
• Earned a 97% lifetime score on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard
