Jasmine Crockett Files to Run for U.S. Senate Seat Held by John Cornyn
U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett has officially launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican John Cornyn. Crockett, who represents District 30 in the Dallas area, filed her candidacy on Monday, joining state Representative James Talarico in the Democratic primary scheduled for March 3. This development comes as Colin Allred, who previously ran against Senator Ted Cruz, announced his withdrawal from the Senate race to pursue a House seat. The Democratic primary winner will face the GOP primary victor, which includes Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and U.S. Representative Wesley Hunt. Crockett, known for her outspoken criticism of President Trump and his allies, is expected to bring a strong campaign presence, bolstered by her national profile and significant fundraising capabilities.
