Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Considers U.S. Senate Run
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas is reportedly considering a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat now held by John Cornyn, according to sources cited by FOX 4 News in Dallas. Recent statewide polls indicate Crockett may have an early advantage in the crowded Democratic primary field.
Polling Insights
Current surveys show Crockett leading against former U.S. Representative James Talarico and other Democratic contenders. On the Republican side, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton holds a slim lead over incumbent Senator John Cornyn for the nomination.
District Changes and Impact
Crockett's decision is pending upcoming court rulings on the redrawn Texas Congressional District maps, which were developed to add five new Republican seats in the U.S. House. These changes could alter Crockett's district boundaries if upheld by the courts.
"I'm still waiting for a final ruling on the new Texas Congressional District maps," Crockett said during an October FOX News interview, appearing undecided on how the outcome will affect her plans.
Background
In mid-October, Crockett stated she would make a definitive decision on a Senate run after analyzing the court rulings and additional polling data.
