US EditionCrockett spending ‘a lot of money’ on polling for possible Senate run
Rep. Jasmine Crockett considers a Texas Senate run due to redistricting risks; a poll shows her leading the Democratic primary with 31%, indicating strong early support.
- Last week, Rep. Jasmine Crockett said she is seriously weighing a U.S. Senate bid, investing heavily in polling and meeting a prospective campaign manager while buying voter data.
- Because of this year's Republican-led redistricting, Crockett and her team are weighing options as the move could shift her from a Dallas congressional district with 766,000 constituents, prompting her to consider representing 30 million with voter cross-tabs and demographic analysis guiding her decision.
- Polls and fundraising figures indicate a competitive Democratic field, with State Rep. James Talarico reporting $6.2 million and a UH/TSU poll showing Rep. Jasmine Crockett leading.
- If she runs, Rep. Jasmine Crockett could mobilize disengaged voters and alter the Democratic primary, but her decision depends on a viable general-election path and the Republican nominee.
- Historic Republican advantage and recent turnout trends make Crockett's decision consequential, as no Texas Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat since 1988 and growing Houston and Dallas populations could sway outcomes.
