Democratic U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who represents Texas’ 30th congressional district, which includes much of Dallas, is planning to make a campaign announcement on Monday.
According to a spokesperson, Crockett will reveal which office she will seek in the 2026 midterm election.
The filing deadline for candidates running in the March primary is Dec. 8.
Earlier on Monday, former U.S. Rep. Colin Allred ended his Senate campaign and will instead run for a House seat in Dallas County’s revamped District 33.
Allred’s decision comes as Crockett is expected to join the Democratic Senate contest that also includes state Rep. James Talarico of Austin.
The Texas primary is Tuesday, March 3, 2026. The first date to request a ballot by mail is Jan. 1, 2026, and the last day to register to vote in the primary is Feb. 2, 2026. Early voting begins Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026. The candidates who win the primary will either advance to a runoff on May 26, 2026, or, if they obtain more than 50% of the vote, they’ll get the party nomination and advance to the midterm election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026.
