Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Considers U.S. Senate Bid
Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is weighing a run for the U.S. Senate, aiming to challenge for Senator John Cornyn’s seat, according to sources confirmed by FOX 4 News in Dallas.
Recent statewide polls show Crockett holding an early advantage in the crowded Democratic primary field, outpacing contenders such as former U.S. Representative James Talarico. Meanwhile, the same surveys indicate Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has a slim lead over incumbent Senator Cornyn in the Republican race.
Public Appearances and Campaign Timing
On November 1, 2025, Crockett spoke at the “Yes On Prop 50” volunteer event held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, showing signs of national engagement beyond Texas.
“I’ll make my decision after the courts finalize the new congressional maps and once we complete additional polling,”
the congresswoman told FOX News in mid-October, highlighting her cautious approach to entering the race.
Impact of Redistricting
The newly proposed congressional map would create five additional Republican-leaning districts in the U.S. House. If upheld by the courts, this redistricting could redraw Crockett’s current district and influence her decision to pursue a Senate seat.
