After a failed Senate bid and two years outside the halls of Congress, former NFL linebacker Colin Allred has found his way back to elected office — not through the grand door he once sought, but through a familiar one, redrawn and waiting. In a Democratic primary runoff for a Dallas-area House seat, Allred defeated freshman Rep. Julie Johnson, whose own brief tenure had begun precisely where Allred's ambitions had carried him away. The arc of this contest speaks to something enduring in political life: that the paths we abandon have a way of circling back, altered but recognizable.
