Built by Texas Trailblazers: Why Jasmine Crockett’s Senate Run Carries a Legacy Forward
The Texas Senate race is capturing national attention, and momentum is shifting. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is now leading in multiple public polls as she seeks the Democratic nomination. A new University of Texas Politics Project poll shows her with a double-digit advantage, 56 percent to 44 percent, over her opponent James Talarico. Earlier polling from the University of Houston showed her leading by eight points. In January, the race was neck and neck. The numbers show movement.
