Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for the US Senate in Texas. Allred to seek House seat

Jasmine Crockett filed for Texas Senate after favorable polling; Colin Allred shifted to a newly redrawn Dallas congressional district, reshaping key Democratic primary contests.

  • On Monday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett filed paperwork to run in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate just before the 6 p.m. CT deadline, hours after Colin Allred shifted to the 33rd Congressional District.
  • After the Supreme Court green-lit the new map last week, Colin Allred ended his Senate campaign to avoid a bruising primary, while Rep. Jasmine Crockett ran only after internal polling showed viability.
  • Fundraising and viral moments have helped build her national profile, with Crockett entering with more than $6.5 million raised and a 45‑second video featuring Trump's audio calling her `the new star` and a `very low IQ person`.
  • Her entry creates musical chairs for House races in Dallas-area and triggers a Democratic primary against State Rep. James Talarico in the U.S. Senate race.
  • Meanwhile, the GOP primary remains costly, with nearly $50 million spent supporting Sen. John Cornyn amid an acrimonious contest with Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt, as the Senate race could cost 750 million overall.
