Jasmine Crockett was expected to announce a Texas Senate bid before the filing deadline, while Colin Allred said he was ending his Senate campaign to run for the House. Crockett’s possible entry would reshape the Democratic primary and add to the attention on a closely watched Senate race.
Crockett was expected to announce her decision on the day Texas Senate candidates had to file for the March primary. She had said she was closer to running than not, and had commissioned polling; the article described a possible contest with James Talarico, who remained in the Democratic primary. Crockett had not yet announced her decision in the article.
Allred said he was ending his Senate campaign and would seek a return to the House. In a statement, he said he believed a divisive Democratic primary could undermine party unity. The article also reported that a recently upheld Texas congressional map changed some districts and could affect Crockett’s House seat and Representative Marc Veasey’s plans.
