Jasmine Crockett Launches Texas Senate Campaign

Jasmine Crockett filed Monday to run in the Democratic Senate primary.

She’ll face James Talarico, who raised $6.2M early.

* Colin Allred dropped out and filed for the new 33rd District after the Supreme Court approved Texas’ new map.

* Allred said a “bruising primary” would hurt Democrats.

* Crockett said she’d run only if polling showed she could win a general election.

* Democrats think Paxton winning the GOP primary could give them a real statewide chance for the first time in 30+ years.
