flag Rep. Jasmine Crockett plans to run for Texas Senate, facing a Dec. 8 filing deadline and a fragmented Democratic race.

flag U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, is poised to announce her candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Texas, with a special event scheduled for December 8, 2025—the filing deadline. flag She has been exploring the race for weeks, telling reporters she is “closer to yes than I am no,” and has discussed potential campaigns with rivals Colin Allred and James Talarico. flag Her entry could trigger a competitive Democratic primary, possibly leading to a runoff on March 3, complicating efforts to unify the party’s statewide ticket. flag Crockett, a top contender among Black and brown voters, leads in some Democratic primary polls but trails in general election matchups against Republicans like Ken Paxton. flag Despite high favorability among Democrats, she also faces significant opposition. flag With the tight deadline, coordination among Democratic candidates remains fragmented, leaving uncertainty about the party’s strategy in a state where Democrats have not won a statewide race in over 30 years.
