TX-SEN: Alsobrooks becomes first Senator to endorse Crockett in Texas Senate race
Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) endorsed Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) in the Democratic primary for Senate in the Lone Star State, becoming the first Senator to back the congresswoman.
In a Wednesday release, Alsobrooks endorsed Crockett and Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton in their respective Senate races.
“In the Senate, we need leaders who are both willing to take on tough fights and to work across the aisle to get things done on behalf of their constituents,” the first-term Senator said. “Now more than ever, we need fighters whose north star is and always will be the people they serve. I cannot wait to call them colleagues.”
Crockett’s main competition for the Democratic nomination is Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D). A January poll from the University of Houston found that 47 percent of likely Democratic primary voters backed Crockett, while 39 percent supported Talarico and 12 percent were unsure.
