Reggie Miller was one of the greatest basketball players of all time. he could have gone to a big team, cashed it in like Clyde Drexler, and won multiple championships, but he had something bigger in mind
similarly, from the article:
"After 2020’s redistricting, Allred’s district became safely Democratic, meaning he could likely hold his current seat for as long as he chooses. His decision to give it up to run for Senate instead, in a state where his party has struggled to win statewide, sets up a potentially high-profile general election race next fall.
Allred may well follow O’Rourke’s model. Even if he doesn’t win, he will raise his political cachet with a 2024 run against Cruz — giving himself national exposure and building a massive donor list."
