"Crockett, who's a second-term congresswoman, has become a well-known Democratic voice in the House due to her outspokenness and refusal to back down when challenged by seasoned Republicans. Crockett is joining a field that already includes Austin state Rep. James Talarico, also known as a strong communicator and for his progressive brand of Christianity, The Texas Tribune reported. But her path was made easier by fellow Dallasite Colin Allred's decision to exit the Senate race, which he announced early Monday morning."
"Crockett told Politico in November that she would run for Senate if internal campaign polling showed that she could win the general election. However, The Texas Tribune reported, So far, no public poll has shown Crockett winning a general election against any of the Republican candidates, including incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett has filed to run for the U.S. Senate from Texas. She is a second-term congresswoman known for outspokenness and for refusing to back down when challenged by seasoned Republicans. Her entry adds to a field that includes Austin state Rep. James Talarico and follows Dallasite Colin Allred's decision to exit the race, which eased her path. She said she would run only if internal campaign polling showed she could win the general election. No public poll so far shows her beating Republican contenders. Her entry clears a North Texas redistricting dilemma and sets a March 3 primary contest with Talarico.
