By Susie Madrak — December 9, 2025

Rep. Jasmine Crockett yesterday filed paperwork to run in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Texas, hours ahead of a planned news conference where she is set to announce her plans. Via CBS News:

In the Democratic primary, Crockett will face state Rep. James Talarico of Austin, whose campaign has generated national headlines and who raised a record $6.2 million in the first three weeks of his campaign announcement.

After Crockett filed her paperwork, Talarico issued a statement saying, "We're building a movement in Texas — fueled by record-breaking grassroots fundraising and 10,000 volunteers who are putting in the work to defeat the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who have taken over our state. Our movement is rooted in unity over division — so we welcome Congresswoman Crockett into this race."

Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt are also locked in a closely-watched battle for the GOP nomination. The final general election matchup is expected to be one of the most expensive races in the 2026 national cycle.

NEW: Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has formally launched her bid for a highly sought-after Texas Senate seat, ending months of speculation.
