Rep. Jasmine Crockett announced a bid for the U.S. Senate on Dec. 8, joining the Texas Democratic primary. Colin Allred ended his Senate campaign and said he would run for Congress instead.
Crockett announced her Senate run ahead of the candidate filing deadline, joining a Democratic primary that includes Texas state Rep. James Talarico. The article reports that a University of Houston Hobby School poll had Crockett leading the primary field in September, while she trailed each of three Republican candidates in general-election matchups. Crockett said she believed she was formidable and could turn out unlikely voters.
Allred said he was ending his Senate campaign because he believed a bruising primary and runoff would keep Democrats from entering the general election unified. He said he would run for Congress in Rep. Julie Johnson’s seat. The article also says redistricting moved Crockett out of her current district and that the Supreme Court allowed the new map to be used for the 2026 election.
