Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Eyes U.S. Senate Seat

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from Texas is seriously contemplating a Senate run for the seat currently held by John Cornyn, according to sources speaking to FOX 4 News in Dallas.

Current Polling Landscape

Recent statewide polls indicate Crockett may hold an early lead in the competitive Democratic primary, ahead of former U.S. Representative James Talarico and other contenders. On the Republican side, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is shown with a slim advantage over incumbent Senator John Cornyn for the GOP nomination.

Impact of Redistricting and Decision Timeline

In mid-October, Crockett stated in a FOX News interview that her decision would come after court rulings on the newly drawn congressional maps and further analysis of polling data. She appeared cautious, awaiting a final verdict on Texas’ redistricting plan, which seeks to add five new Republican seats to the U.S. House and could alter her current district's boundaries.
