2022 battleground election

See also: Texas' 30th Congressional District election, 2022 (March 1 Democratic primary)

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.[1][2][3]

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.[4] 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."[5] 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.”[1] Hamilton said she supported criminal justice reform, expanding access to healthcare, and "Voters Rights legislation which prohibits States from disenfranchising people of color."[6] 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."[2] 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."[7] 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.

Jasmine Crockett (D), Arthur Dixon (D), Jane Hamilton (D), Keisha Lankford (D), Zachariah Manning (D), and Abel Mulugheta (D) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.
