Who are the Democrats running for US Senate in Texas?
AUSTIN, Texas – Despite Democrats not winning a statewide office in Texas since 1994, a highly competitive race is forming for who will represent the party in November's U.S. Senate election.
Early voting for the March 3 primary election begins Tuesday and U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett and state Rep. James Talarico are front-runners to determine who will challenge the winner on the Republican side. Businessman Ahmad Hassan will join them on the ballot.
This election cycle has many Democrats feeling they can turn the Senate seat blue. The seat is currently held by Sen. John Cornyn, who finds himself in a fierce battle for the Republican nomination against Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.

“This is a grassroots movement to take power back for working people in a system rigged by billionaire mega-donors and corrupt politicians – because the real fight in this country is not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom,” said Talarico. “We’re hitting the road – going everywhere and talking to everyone. We’re not writing off any voter or any community. That’s the only way to take back Texas.”
