Overview
- An official state party list shows Rep. Jasmine Crockett filed Monday to run for U.S. Senate in 2026, which means she will not seek re-election in Texas’ 30th District.
- Former Rep. Colin Allred ended his Senate bid and filed to run in the redrawn 33rd Congressional District, saying a bruising primary would hurt Democratic unity.
- Crockett joins state Rep. James Talarico on the March 3 Democratic primary ballot, with a May runoff possible if no candidate clears 50 percent.
- The Republican primary features Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt, and President Donald Trump has not endorsed a candidate.
- A Supreme Court-backed remap reshaped Dallas-area seats and triggered candidate shifts, with Rep. Marc Veasey eyeing the 30th and Rep. Julie Johnson competing in the 33rd.
