Though this is the end of a chapter for me, I'm reminded that our democracy is great because it doesn’t begin or end with one elected official. It's not about one person. It never has been. We are caretakers. Guardians of the great American experiment.

Watch my farewell speech.

[Rep. Marc Veasey @RepVeasey]

It’s been an honor serving with you, @RepColinAllred. Texas and the nation are better because of your leadership. Your district couldn't have asked for a better Congressman.

You're one of my all-time favorite football players, and I’m lucky to call you a friend.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

It’s been the honor of a lifetime to serve the great people of the 32nd District in Congress. 

Watch my farewell speech on the House floor tomorrow at 9 AM CT: https://t.co/1UxZtlMm7e

My office is here to serve North Texas, and we couldn’t do that without the help of our outstanding interns. Their passion for public service inspires me and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the future.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

I’ll always work to lower costs and help build an economy that works for everyone.

#HappyThanksgiving North Texas! I am thankful for the sacrifices of our service members, frontline workers and first responders who cannot be with their families today. I hope your holiday is filled with joy and good food.🦃

Our commitment to our veterans is sacred, and we must never stop working for them. I'm proud our bipartisan bill passed the House, which will ensure families of veterans who pass away at home can access burial benefits. https://t.co/Z0vHb9PSyo

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Access to education is one of the best ways to ensure every Texan can get a good job. The new FAFSA form is now available, which comes after I led an effort urging @usedgov to fix a glitch impacting children in immigrant families. Fill out your form here: https://t.co/KXs8Qk7Fd8

I was raised by a single mom who was a public school teacher. It wasn’t always easy, but we made it. That’s why I am honored to be named Defender of Children by @Campaign4Kids. https://t.co/0UgzbSJv7N

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Growing up, my mom was a Dallas public school teacher, so I know how hard our educators work to make sure our kids get the best education possible. This American Education Week, let’s recommit to uplifting our teachers, staff and students. #AEW2024

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Not everyone can access a scholarship, so making higher education more affordable will help more Texans access the education and training they need to get good job. This is a great step forward for students and families.

[KUT Austin @KUT]

Students attending college within the University of Texas System will receive free tuition and waived fees if their families make less than $100,000 annually. https://t.co/48htbSGOVN

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Social Security is vital for Texans, but too many police officers, teachers & other public servants unfairly get reduced benefits. I was proud to vote for the bipartisan Social Security Fairness Act to ensure our public servants receive the retirement benefits they've earned.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

This #DiabetesAwarenessMonth, I'm committed to lowering costs for Texans living with diabetes. Thanks to our work to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, we capped insulin for folks on Medicare at $35 a month. Let’s keep working to ensure Texans can afford the insulin they need.

DFW Airport is one of the strongest job engines in our region. 🛫

I'm proud that the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw, signed into law three years ago today, has delivered $272 million to upgrade @DFWAirport’s infrastructure, create jobs, and ensure better traveler experiences.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Three years ago, the #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw was signed into law. With over $30 billion in funding for Texas, this is a big deal.

It's helping us fix our roads and bridges, invest in our airports and public transit, and so much more — all while creating good-paying jobs.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

It is my greatest honor to serve our veterans and work to expand opportunities and access to the care and benefits they have earned. Happy #VeteransDay to all those who have served across North Texas. Thank you for your courage, sacrifice and service to our country.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

I wish a happy #Diwali to everyone celebrating across North Texas! Light always triumphs over darkness, and I hope those celebrating have a bright and joyous holiday. May we bring light wherever we go.

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

Josseli Barnica should be alive today, but because of Texas’ cruel abortion ban she could not get the care she needed. We must ensure every Texas woman can access the life-saving care she needs. https://t.co/GcYJFS7JZA

[Rep. Colin Allred @RepColinAllred]

I was proud to help pass the #InflationReductionAct, and now seniors will see lower health care costs during Medicare open enrollment.
