Art drawing of a couple kissing in a forest. She is half elven with long blonde hair and pale skin. She wears a cream colored chemise under a green dress. He has dark hair that reaches his shoulders, blown by a breeze. He wears a blue tunic. They’re embracing each other as they kiss, golden brown leaves cascading down around them. Artist is Arandanity.

Jasmine Crockett for U.S. Senate I’m running for the United States Senate because I believe Texas deserves a Senator who will be an independent voice for all 30 million Texans -- not a rubber stamp or party line vote for Donald Trump...

I see a lot of people rightfully praising Jasmine Crockett for time and time again taking on the hard work in Congress, but have you donated to support her recently? www.jasmineforus.com
