A member of the Texas House before moving to Congress, Crockett acknowledges she’s never run for statewide office. Because Texas is such a large state, and statewide name recognition is often a major ingredient for success, that is a factor she said she’d have to consider.

This comes as Texas House Democrats have made national news by breaking quorum for a second week to prevent the chamber from passing the new maps that are designed to give the GOP five new majority seats.
