U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, is running for Tarrant County judge, according to a source with knowledge of his plans, marking a surprise last-minute pivot for the seven-term congressman who was expected to run for the seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
Instead, shortly before Monday’s 6 p.m. filing deadline, Veasey decided to seek the Democratic nomination for Tarrant County’s top elected office, bringing an end to his tenure in Congress that began in 2013.
