14. Not really. She is in TX-30 atm. D+52. The Rethugs redrew her house slightly out of TX-30 and it now sits in TX-33

D+40 atm. TX-33 is atm represented by Democrat Marc Veasy, who has now had his home redrawn into a hardcore Red district, TX-25 but TX-33 remains deep Blue.

The new map is now

TX -30 D+54
TX-33 D+41

Crockett can run in either one and very likely easily win. House reps do not have to live in the district they run in, so she can still run in TX-30, or she can run in TX-33 where her home will be. She would easily win, IMHO, the Dem primary in either one, and thus be a lock to win the general. Maxine Waters hasn't lived in her represented district for ages. Same for the now deceased (died in 2019) John Conyers.

The Dallas-Ft Worth Dem who did have their current district shredded from D to R is Julie Johnson in TX-32. It has been redrawn from D+22 to R+17.

TX-30 and TX-33 are still deep deep Blue, in fact both very slightly increased to even deeper Blue.

Crockett could likely win the Dem US Senate primary, but I fear she would get hammered in the general as TX is racist as fuck. Same for a TX governor run for her. It sucks, but it's shitshow Texas, so it's not surprising.
