Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick will return to the campaign trail this weekend, stumping in Texas in one of the most competitive House races in the country.
The former two-term Democrat and 2020 presidential prospect will campaign Sunday with Democrat Colin Allred, a former NFL football player challenging GOP Rep. Pete Sessions in Texas 32nd Congressional District.
Patrick will help launch a block walk in Richardson, a Dallas-Fort Worth suburb, followed by a sit-down with campaign volunteers and fellows at campaign HQ, according to Hector Nieto, a consultant for the Allred campaign.
The district is regarded as one of the partys top opportunities to pick off a seat currently held by a Republican Hillary Clinton carried district in 2016.
