He was promoted to the active roster aslinebacker[3]on December 15 and made his NFL regular season debut on December 16, 2007.[14]In four seasons for the Titans between 2007 and 2010, Allred appeared in 32 games and recorded 46 tackles.[15]
On October 10, 2010,[16]during a Titans game with theDallas Cowboys,he was severely injured in the neck during a game when he collided with Cowboys playerMartellus Bennett.[17]He subsequently decided to retire from football and go to law school,[17]and he became a free agent before the 2011 season without signing with another team.[18]
Law
edit
In 2011, Allred enrolled at theUC Berkeley School of Law.He worked as aresearch assistantfor professor and authorIan Haney Lópezand graduated in 2014 with aJuris Doctordegree.[19][12]
After graduating from law school, Allred worked forBattleground Texasas itsDallas-Fort WorthRegional Director of Voter Protection, overseeing the state's first coordinated voter protection program. His responsibilities included overseeing thevoter registrationefforts of hundreds of volunteers and managing a comprehensivepoll watcherprogram that helped thousands of North Texans vote. In 2016, he worked as a special assistant in theDepartment of Housing and Urban Development's Office of General Counsel alongside then-SecretaryJulian Castroin the Obama administration.[20]
Subsequently, Allred worked as a civil rights attorney[3]at the law firmPerkins Coie,where he was avoting rightslitigator and counsel to clients including national and state political candidates and advocacy organizations.[20][21]
U.S. House of Representatives
editElections
edit2018
edit
On April 21, 2017, Allred announced his campaign to challenge incumbentRepublicanPete Sessionsin 2018.[22]In a crowded Democratic primary that included two otherObamaadministration alums, Allred finished first, by 20 points, but did not get 50% of the vote.[23]In the May 22runoff election,Allred defeatedLewisvillebusinesswomanLillian Salerno,receiving 69.5% of the vote.[24]
Allred faced Sessions in the general election. As of November 2016, this was considered aswingdistrict because Democratic presidential candidateHillary Clintonreceived marginally more votes thanDonald Trumpeven as Sessions was reelected with no major-party opposition.[25]Allred described himself as a moderate Democrat.[26]U.S. RepresentativeJohn Lewisrallied in support of Allred in October.[27]
On November 6, 2018, Allred was elected to the House of Representatives for the32nd district of Texas.[28]His victory was considered an upset because Sessions had been in Congress since 1997 and represented the 32nd district since its creation in 2003.[29]Allred became the second person to represent this district and the first Democrat. Sessions had represented the neighboring5th district,and transferred to the 32nd after the 5th was seemingly made less Republican in redistricting. As a measure of how Republican this area had been, much of what is now the 32nd had not been represented by a Democrat since 1968, when it was part of the neighboring3rd district.Allred was one of two former NFL players to win a seat in Congress that year, along withAnthony Gonzalez.
