How about Former TX US Representive Filemon Vela run for the US Senate in 2024? [View all]
Vela left the US House of Representatives this year in order to help a fellow TX Democratic US House Member Vicente Gonzalez remain in the US House. Gonzalez was going to lose in the General Election if he ran in the TX-15 and in the Primary Election if he ran in TX-34. Now that Vela is no longer holding any elected office, running for the US Senate in TX will not be a problem.
Sitting TX Democratic US House members such as Colin Allred and Joaquin Castro are better off waiting until John Cornyn decides not to seek re-election.
