State Rep. Jasmine Crockett had a commanding lead over opponent Jane Hope Hamilton in the run-off election for the 30th Congressional District, at press time,
Crockett was endorsed by Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, who announced her retirement from the seat she has held since it was established in 1992.
Other heavily watched races in Dallas County appeared to end with Venton Jones defeating former Dallas City Councilmember Sandra Crenshaw, on his way to claiming the seat being vacated by Crockett; and Monique Bracey Huff was leading over incumbent Judge Etta J. Mullin for Criminal Court 10.
