2022 battleground election
Jasmine Crockett and Jane Hamilton were the top two finishers in the Democratic Party primary election for Texas' 30th Congressional District on March 1, 2022. Crockett received 48.5% of the vote, followed by Hamilton with 17% of the vote. No other candidate received more than 10% of the vote. Because no candidate won 50% of the vote, Crockett and Hamilton advanced to a runoff election on May 24.
Incumbent Eddie Bernice Johnson (D) , who was first elected to the U.S. House in 1992, did not seek re-election. The Cook Political Report and other outlets rated the 30th district Solid Democratic. Media attention focused on Crockett, Hamilton, and Jessica Mason.[2][3][4]
Crockett represented Texas House District 100 since January 2021 and was among the Texas House members who left the state in protest of SB1, which made a series of changes to Texas' election administration laws. “There’s a number of people who will most likely enter this race. There are none that I believe will enter this race that have been battle tested like I have this session," Crockett said.[5] She said she supported "Economic recovery that includes all, fair district maps, expanding healthcare and access to the ballot box, lowering property taxes, and reforming the criminal justice and policing systems."[6] Johnson and a number of Texas state representatives endorsed Crockett.
Hamilton served as an adviser on Pres. Joe Biden's (D) Texas campaign in 2020 and worked as an online program manager. She emphasized her local support, saying, "There is no other candidate in this race that has such broad support throughout the district" and the race would be "determined by the candidate who works the hardest and gets out their supporters. And I’m experienced doing just that.”[2] Hamilton said she supported criminal justice reform, expanding access to healthcare, and "Voters Rights legislation which prohibits States from disenfranchising people of color."[7] Hamilton's endorsers included U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey (D), Texas State Rep. Chris Turner (D), State Sen. Beverly Powell (D), and several local officials.
Mason is a Navy veteran and worked as a legislative staffer in the Virginia General Assembly and as a community outreach coordinator. She described herself as "the only progressive, the only democratic socialist in this race," and said "the establishment has purposefully kept economic opportunity away from underserved communities."[3] Mason said she supported universal healthcare and "ending cash bail, legalizing marijuana and expunging past convictions, and ensuring formerly incarcerated individuals have the right to vote and have job opportunities upon release."[8] Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner (D) and former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson (D) endorsed Mason.
Barbara Mallory Caraway, Arthur Dixon, Vonciel Jones Hill, Keisha Lankford, Abel Mulugheta, and Roy Williams Jr. also ran.

Ballotpedia survey responses

Abel Mulugheta completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Mulugheta's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
Abel Mulugheta is a Dallas-based attorney and former legislative staffer at the federal and state level. Abel and his siblings were raised by two loving parents, who arrived as Eritrean refugees to the United States in the early 80s to start a new life for their family.
Abel received his entrepreneurial spirit and hard work ethic from watching his father, a small business owner in East Dallas and his mother, a housekeeper and childcare worker, working from morning to night to make a loving home for him and his siblings. His parent’s journey from a war-torn region in the Horn of Africa to Italy and eventually to the place they call home today—Dallas, was instrumental in his decision to enter public service.
After attending public schools in Dallas County, Abel earned degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and SMU Law School. He immediately joined the office of State Representative Rafael Anchía, where he served as Chief of Staff, General Counsel and Legislative Director. Time and again, the office led on efforts to better the lives of all Texans: passing legislation to assist the wrongfully imprisoned, pursuing common sense gun safety measures, fighting against bigoted policies designed to intimidate the Black and Latino communities, and defending the rights of the LGBT community. And throughout 2021, Abel was on the ground in the state's capitol engaged in the fight to defend our freedom to vote.
- Texas has the 9th largest economy in the world. If Texas were a country, our economy would be larger than Australia, Canada, Spain and Russia. Although an ever-increasing number of companies are expanding or relocating to Texas, southern Dallas county continues to be overlooked. It's high time for southern Dallas and the Best Southwest to sit atop the geographic wish list of companies looking to relocate. I will serve as CD30's chief marketing officer, encouraging businesses of all stripes to not only consider our area, but in fact call the district their new home.
- COVID-19 revealed the importance of access to high quality healthcare. Congressional District 30 (CD30) has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. Over 200,000 individuals, or nearly 1 out of every 4 people in CD30 do not have health insurance coverage, which is double the national rate. A person's job status or bank account balance should not be determinant of her/his access to care. Everyone, regardless of age, income, or preexisting conditions, deserves an opportunity to restore and maintain good health, without incurring massive debt.
- The foundation of our democracy is under attack—the freedom to vote. And through it all, our republic continues to serve as the gold standard to the world. But democracy is not guaranteed, nor self-sustaining. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Each of us has a duty to be active to ensure its vitality, constantly recommitting ourselves to the mission of the organizers of Freedom Summer. We must deliberately and forcefully prosecute individuals who work to undermine our system of government. Our ancestors died in pursuit of progress. These are trying times. We cannot afford to get distracted. I will work to restore our democracy and hold those who harm it to account.
District 30 has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. As a result, one of the biggest challenges facing the district is expanding insurance coverage for those who are not currently covered. Over 200,000 individuals, or nearly 1 out of every 4 people in District 30 do not have health insurance coverage, which is double the national rate. And according to a 2021 report from the Center for American Progress, roughly 30,000 people fall into the coverage gap, meaning they don’t qualify for subsidized coverage through the Affordable Care Act.
I know firsthand how it feels to live without health insurance and to rely on the emergency room for routine care. In the wealthiest country in the world, it’s unacceptable that we are unable to provide affordable, high-quality healthcare to all Americans. I’ll work hard to eliminate this coverage gap by supporting legislation like the Medicare for America Act and Rep. Lloyd Doggett’s Cover Now Act, which would close the coverage gap in states like Texas that have not expanded Medicaid to uninsured adults. If Texas Republicans refuse to take the necessary steps to insure everyone has access to quality affordable healthcare, then it is incumbent on our leaders in Washington to step up and act.

Campaign website
Mulugheta's campaign website stated the following:

[Promote economic development within CD30; implement a national living wage and close the ever-increasing wealth gap.] Texas has the 9th largest economy in the world. If Texas were a country, our economy would be larger than Australia, Canada, Spain and Russia. Although an ever-increasing number of companies are expanding or relocating to Texas, southern Dallas county continues to be overlooked. It's high time for southern Dallas and the Best Southwest to sit atop the geographic wish list of companies looking to relocate. I will serve as CD30's chief marketing officer, encouraging businesses of all stripes to not only consider our area, but in fact call the district their new home. Following a historic recession, our economy is finally roaring back. However, issues with global supply chain have led to inflation reaching its highest level in over a decade, and American families are beginning to feel the effects. It's high time for our government to recommit itself to its ultimate purpose: to serve the people. For decades, average Americans have been overlooked as our economy experiences record growth. Our workforce is more productive than ever before, however wages do not reflect this increase in production. The per capita income in CD-30 is $25,907, median household income is $51,819—nearly 30% and 25% lower than the national average, respectively. Congress must implement policies to shift the power back to the working class, and close the ever-increasing wealth gap—particularly for women and minority communities.
[Ensure everyone, regardless of age, income, or preexisting conditions, is covered without incurring massive debt.] COVID-19 revealed the importance of access to high quality healthcare. Congressional District 30 (CD30) has one of the highest uninsured rates in the country. Over 200,000 individuals, or nearly 1 out of every 4 people in CD30 do not have health insurance coverage, which is double the national rate. A person's job status or bank account balance should not be determinant of her/his access to care. Everyone, regardless of age, income, or preexisting conditions, deserves an opportunity to restore and maintain good health, without incurring massive debt.
[Prosecute individuals who work to undermine our system of government and restore our democracy.] The foundation of our democracy is under attack—the freedom to vote. And through it all, our republic continues to serve as the gold standard to the world. But democracy is not guaranteed, nor self-sustaining. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Each of us has a duty to be active to ensure its vitality, constantly recommitting ourselves to the mission of the organizers of Freedom Summer. We must deliberately and forcefully prosecute individuals who work to undermine our system of government. Our ancestors died in pursuit of progress. These are trying times. We cannot afford to get distracted. I will work to restore our democracy and hold those who harm it to account.
[Guarantee equal treatment of all Americans by passing the Equality Act.] Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. While none of these issues is more troubling than the other, we must work aggressively to pass policies that guarantee equal treatment of all Americans. Our differences are what make us the vibrant, culture rich society we are today. I'm running for Congress because I believe everyone deserves a life full of dignity, prosperity and equity—regardless of what they look like, how much money they have, or whom they love. We must continue to work to level the playing field and ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to reach their potential. Congress must pass the Equality Act, which will provide consistent non-discrimination protections for LGBT people.
[Integrate renewable and energy efficiency policies; transition to 100% renewable and clean energy by 2050, leading to better paying, more sustainable jobs.] This past year, Texas was hit by Winter Storm Uri. This storm killed 210 Texans, including 20 in Dallas County, taking more lives than Hurricane Harvey. The storm caused over $200 billion in damages—the costliest natural disaster recorded in the United States. The ripple effect caused by climate change is alarming. The United Nations categorized climate change as a "crisis multiplier." No other singular issue has the potential of causing complete destruction to humanities security—food production, access to fresh water and habitable temperature, particularly to low-income, vulnerable communities. We must begin transitioning to 100% renewable and clean energy, which will lead to better paying, more sustainable jobs. A stable climate is the greatest gift we can offer future generations.
[Replace artificial immigration caps with a more responsive system; establish a humane asylum/refugee program and improve overall enforcement.] As the son of immigrants, I am the American Dream personified. And to countless people around the world, the United States serves as an aspiration—the land of opportunity. One in six Texas residents is an immigrant. In Congressional District 30, that figure is slightly higher; approximately 150,000 residents (nearly 20%) are foreign born. Although more than one-third of all immigrants in Texas are naturalized U.S. citizens, an estimated 1.7 million are undocumented. They're our friends, our coworkers, our caregivers—they're part of our American family. Lawmakers have established that border enforcement is one piece of the puzzle. However, it's time we focus more energy bringing our neighbors out of the shadows and providing them a pathway to citizenship. I will support comprehensive immigration reform that replaces artificial caps with a system that incorporates the principles of supply and demand. Additionally, we must establish a humane asylum and refugee program and improve enforcement by instituting statute of limitations and committing to true due process.
[Prevent the politics of today from miseducating our future leaders by amplifying facts over fiction.] Since its inception, our country has constantly evolved. The people, the ideas, our beliefs, as time advances, so do our values—progress. The need for America’s development was forecasted by the framers, “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…” However, though the times have changed, the truth remains truth. There are those in our country that loved America for what it once was but despise it as it currently is. We live in a world where disinformation reigns prevalent, and facts are too often dismissed as lies. From censoring the lesson plans of social studies and English teachers, to blocking health guidelines designed to protect our students, legislators are policing classrooms at an alarming rate. Running from the truth is one thing, spreading disinformation and systemically rewriting history is another. I will support legislation that empowers our educators and curbs the rampant propaganda that’s plaguing our society.
Require universal background checks; invest in community-based strategies to prevent gun violence before it happens. Every day, more than 100 Americans are shot and killed and over 200 more are wounded. In its latest Uniform Crime Report, the FBI revealed that homicides rose by 29% in 2020—76% of the homicides were committed using a firearm. And in the last 5 years in Dallas County alone, nearly 2000 people have been killed using a firearm. It's clear that these are the weapons of choice of violent criminals. In order to keep guns out of the wrong hands, I will support legislation that requires background checks on all gun sales. We must also invest in community-based strategies to prevent gun violence before it happens.[14] |
