Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Considers U.S. Senate Bid
Recent polling indicates that Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett may have an early advantage in the competitive Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat. Sources tell FOX 4 News in Dallas that Crockett is seriously weighing a run for the seat currently held by John Cornyn.
Polling and Political Landscape
- Crockett leads former U.S. Representative James Talarico and another former U.S. official in statewide Democratic primary polls.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton holds a narrow lead over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in the Republican Senate nomination race.
Crockett's Position on Key Decisions
In mid-October, Crockett stated in a FOX News interview that she would make her final decision after court rulings on new congressional district maps and further analysis of polling data. She remains uncertain pending the court's ruling on Texas’ redistricting.
"I'm still waiting for a final ruling on the new Texas Congressional District maps," Crockett said, reflecting on how the recent redrawing aims to create five new Republican U.S. House seats and could alter her district.
Impact of Redistricting
The latest redistricting efforts are intended to increase Republican representation in the U.S. House by adding five new seats. This change could affect Crockett's current district if the courts approve the new map.
