Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Considers U.S. Senate Bid

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas is weighing a run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by John Cornyn, according to sources reporting to FOX 4 News in Dallas.

Polling Landscape

Recent statewide polls indicate Crockett may be leading the competitive Democratic primary, ahead of former officials such as James Talarico. On the Republican side, Attorney General Ken Paxton holds a slim advantage over incumbent Senator John Cornyn for their party’s nomination.

Impact of New Congressional Maps

In mid-October, Crockett told FOX News she would finalize her decision after court rulings on Texas’s new congressional districts and additional polling reviews. These new maps, crafted to create five additional Republican seats in the U.S. House, could alter Crockett’s current district if upheld.

“I’m still waiting for a final ruling on the new Texas Congressional District maps,” Crockett said, reflecting her uncertainty over the potential changes.
