Jasmine Crockett scrambles Democrats as she weighs a last-minute Texas Senate run
Jasmine Crockett is evaluating polling and fundraising strength while coordinating with Democratic leaders as she prepares filings for both her House seat and a possible Senate run.
- On Monday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett will make a final filing decision with two cashier's checks ready—one for House reelection and one for a Senate filing—and she says she'll decide early that day before an announcement event.
- An October poll from the University of Houston and Texas Southern University shows Crockett leading a four-way primary, and she argues her profile can mobilize Black and Latino voters to boost Texas Democrats next year and in 2028.
- For the last week, Crockett has been dialing allies, urging Colin Allred to run for governor, coordinating with Rep. Marc Veasey on filing sequencing, and discussing electorate expansion with Stacey Abrams.
- If Crockett runs statewide, Republicans could be galvanized by opposition research highlighting past gaffes and divisive quotes, boosting Republican turnout and threatening House and state legislative candidates in newly redrawn districts.
- The calendar matters: the GOP primary is March 3 and may push to a May runoff, while Democrats' 1994 statewide win drought influences candidate decisions, and early-year party discussions shape strategies.
