Prominent Dallas pastor Frederick Haynes kicked off his campaign Monday to be the Democratic nominee for Texas' 30th congressional district — seeking to replace Jasmine Crockett, who is running for U.S. Senate.
Haynes passionately made his case to the crowd at the Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Fair Park, framing himself as an outsider to Washington who would shake things up.
He told the crowd he supports quality health care for all, economic equality and abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. ICE has come under fire in response to the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns, and most recently, the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
"We have a terrorist group of ICE agents who are moving throughout this nation and engaging in waging war on communities," Haynes said.
Haynes received endorsements from Tarrant County Commissioner Alisa Simmons, Crockett and Kirk Johnson, son of Eddie Bernice Johnson — who represented the district for 30 years before Crockett.
Crockett couldn't make the event, but made a video where asking those in attendance to support Haynes, adding that he is her pastor.
"He's never been elected, but he's been in this fight at every level," Crockett said in the video. "He knows what it's gonna take to win, to lead, to govern, and he's always been a servant of the people"
Haynes has been a longtime activist for racial justice and civil rights.
Accomplished civil rights activist Jesse Jackson selected Haynes to lead the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the social justice organization founded by Jackson. But Haynes unexpectedly stepped down as President and CEO of the coalition after just months on the job.

Great! Let Haynes and Crockash!t beat the crap out of each other. They each believe the same thing, it’s just that Crockash!t is more annoyingly vocal about it.
Oh, my bad! Crockash!t is gwanna be a Senator! In her dreams.
Haynes is the racist DemonRat for Crockash!t’s old HoR seat. Except it done been gerrymandered away from underneath him/her!
The guy running AGAINST her *for* the Senate primary is James Talarico.
Nope.
Yes, my bad, I finally came to my senses. See #3.
:) Yes I saw just after I posted the reply.
Crockett says she has Republicans approach her at airports and whatnot saying they disagree with her but are fans.
I guarantee you if Haynes approaches you or you approach him, you better check if you were still wearing your clothes. You still had both hands and all ten fingers and all the teeth you had before you met. Associating with Jesse Jackson is caveat that speaks for itself.
Dumb fk thinks she’s going to be elected Senator? Hahaha! Not in Texas kiddo.
Crockett represents one of the worst district ghettos. All a democrat has to say to get elected there is “free stuff, and it’s all whitey’s fault.”
There is no such thing as a Democrat pastor.
