In just three years, Crockett has established herself as one of the most provocative and high-profile faces of the Democratic Party. She filed her intention to run for a Texas Senate seat on the deadline day and has thrown both parties into disarray. Cruz, who holds the other Texas Senate seat, said that although he has not met Crockett, he sees her as “the face of the Democratic Party”. A win in Texas is actually bigger than Texas. We are talking about a seat that will absolutely flip the Senate over to the control of the Democrats.
