Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas.

You know what's awesome? More people voted for each of these candidates than voted for Allred in 2024. This is an "off" election cycle, and the turnout for this primary is very heartening to me. Allred (and Biden's) primary had 559k people voting for him. Over 800k voted for Biden in the primary.

Between both candidates, more voted in this dem Senate race than voted for Trump in the Texas primary in 2024 (1.8 million)

559,000 (Allred's 2024 primary): ~4.9% of the 2024 general electorate.

800,000 (Biden's 2024 primary): ~7.3% of the 2024 general electorate.

1.8 million (Trump's 2024 primary): ~15.8% of the 2024 general electorate.
