Jasmine Crockett launched a campaign for the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Texas. Her primary opponent, James Talarico, responded by urging his supporters to treat her with respect as he made the case for his own campaign.
Crockett launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate on Monday. At her Dallas rally, she argued that polling and her experience made her the strongest candidate to challenge Republicans, and criticized them over affordability, schools, guns, Social Security, Medicare and tax breaks for billionaires.
Talarico, a Texas state representative and Democratic primary opponent, welcomed Crockett to the race in a video message to supporters and volunteers. He said his campaign would argue it was best positioned to win, while urging supporters not to attack Crockett and describing her as a colleague and a state leader deserving of respect. The article also identifies John Cornyn, Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt as Republicans contesting the general-election race.
