The race between Representative Jasmine Crockett and Jane Hope Hamilton has divided the North Texas Democratic establishment.If the sheer number of endorsements from the political class were enough to decide runoff elections in Texas, Jane Hope Hamilton would almost surely be the next representative of Dallas’ 30th Congressional District.
Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson—EBJ for short—is arguably the most revered Democratic politician in Dallas, having held various elected offices for six decades. After the courts brought an end to Dallas’ at-large legislative seats in 1972 , she ran for a state House district in the southwest neighborhood of Oak Cliff, beating a candidate who was backed by the city’s conservative business interests. Johnson became the first Black woman elected to office in Dallas.
“I will retire,” she said, “and let me assure you that I will also recommend to you whom I feel is the best to follow me.” Seemingly out of nowhere, Crockett burst onto the political scene back in 2020 with an upset victory in a race to fill a state House seat left open by the new Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. In the spring primary, she went up against local party activist Lorraine Biribal, the nominal incumbent who had just won the special election to hold the seat for the remainder of the term.
Johnson has shrugged off the apparent split in the party’s Dallas establishment and remained steadfast in her support for Crockett. Observer
