I wonder if this is strategic with Jasmine Crockett. Maybe his district is more winnable for him, while hers is hlthe2b Yesterday #2

too gerrymandered so they might have collaborated, with her then running for Senate?

I'm voting for James Talarico in the senate primary. I think it's a shame we have too many big names entering the same race rather than spreading out our talent and coordinating. I think Allred did the right thing by dropping out and moving to a House race.

I believe he has appeal for crossover Republican voters, which he will need in this red state.

I like Allred. He’s smart, but couldn’t beat Cruz, who everyone hates. No way he could defeat Cornyn.

I hope Crocket doesn’t get in the race. I love her, but don’t think she can get those crossover voters.

If I understand this racial gerrymandered redistricting “map” Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s seat was merged into District 33.

If I could vote for this district I’d vote for Rep. Marc Veasey. He has done a lot of good work for his constituents and has their support.
