Why someone not yet running leads the Democratic pack in Texas' Senate race [View all]
None of the three Democrats who have announced a run for U.S. Senate next year are leading in a statewide poll published Thursday.
Instead, Dallas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who has not disclosed her plans for 2026, has a 6-point lead over state Rep. James Talarico of Austin and a 2-1 advantage over Colin Allred, the former Congress member who came up short in a run for the Senate in 2024. Beto O'Rourke, who has twice lost statewide general election races but so far is not running this cycle, is tied with Talarico in the latest poll by the University of Houston and Texas Southern University.

I would love to have her voice in the Senate.
