Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Considers U.S. Senate Bid

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas is evaluating a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by John Cornyn, according to sources cited by FOX 4 News in Dallas. Recent statewide polling shows Crockett with a potential early lead over former U.S. representatives James Talirico and others in the Democratic primary race.

Polling Insights and Political Context

In the Republican primary, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is narrowly leading incumbent Senator John Cornyn. Meanwhile, Democratic primary polls suggest Crockett is gaining traction in the crowded field for the Senate nomination.

Redistricting Impact and Decision Timeline

During a FOX News interview in mid-October, Crockett stated she would finalize her decision after court rulings on new congressional maps and further review of polling data. She said,

"I'm still waiting for a final ruling on the new Texas Congressional District maps."

The recently redrawn maps aim to create five additional Republican seats in the U.S. House and could alter Crockett's current district if the courts approve them.
