TX-SEN: Crockett spending 'a lot of money' on polling for possible Senate run

[RandySF]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said she is “seriously weighing” a bid for the U.S. Senate in Texas and has taken significant steps to bring her closer to a decision.

In an interview this week with Politico’s Dasha Burns on “The Conservation” podcast, Crockett said she is investing heavily in polling and has already met multiple times with a prospective campaign manager.

“I am seriously weighing it, to the extent that I’m about to spend a lot of money to get data,” Crockett said, when asked how close she is to making a decision about a potential Senate bid.

“I’m a data-driven person. I will tell you that I personally believe that Texas needs to do something different if they want a different result. That’s just the bottom line,” she continued.

This makes me happy.

3. K&R!

She's illustrated time and again she’s not afraid to speak out on the idiots in the administration. I’d love to see her approach, energy and integrity on the Senate floor. Texas does require something different, and I can't think of a better name than hers.

4. Fantastic! Go Crockett!!

This would be something to see. Jasmine Crockett running in Texas would add momentum to a possible Blue Wave. And she would be a great Senator.

5. I love her, but that Senate primary is going to be a meat grinder

I would rather see her in a Texas AG, or Gubernatorial run in a few years.

6. Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General are up for TX 2026 election

I don't want a primary between noteworthy Democrats for just a single office. Come on ya'll, play more than one hand!

7. She's being unseated through re-districting by the Texas GOP. Her district was one of those targeted.

She faces the choice of running in a new district or running for Senate...the latter being much, much more difficult. These redistricting changes are currently being challenged in court.
