About
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has purposefully made every decision with one goal in mind: protecting the civil liberties of those in underrepresented communities. As a public defender, civil rights attorney, State Representative, and United States Congresswoman, Jasmine Crockett dedicates her life to public service, with the goal of serving justice and ensuring equality for all.
In the midst of political turmoil, economic distress, and racial inequality, Congresswoman Crockett laced up her shoes to march for justice and run for the Texas House of Representatives. The sole Black freshman and youngest Black lawmaker in Texas during the 87th Legislative Session, Congresswoman Crockett navigated what has been marked as the most conservative session in Texas history. Despite the uphill climb, Congresswoman Crockett filed more bills than any other freshman, assembled a wide coalition to pass landmark criminal justice reforms in the House, and brought more accessibility and accountability to her office than before. She was a founding member of both the Texas Progressive Caucus as well as the Texas Caucus on Climate, Energy, and the Environment. As State Representative, she fought for economic opportunity as a member of the Business & Industry Committee, and advocated for reform on the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. Congresswoman Crockett was one of the lead architects of the 2021 Texas House Quorum Break, which brought attention to the draconian and restrictive voting measures being proposed in the legislature.
Her passion for justice and the protection of peoples’ rights led her to pursue a career as a public defender, and civil rights and criminal defense attorney. She focused on defending our most vulnerable among us from exploitation in the criminal justice system. As she began her career in the Bowie County Public Defender’s Office, Congresswoman Crockett worked tirelessly to keep children safe and out of jail. Her time there serves as a reminder that criminal justice is an insurrectional issue.
Following her service in the Texas Legislature, Congresswoman Crockett accepted the call, and won the election for retiring Chairwoman Eddie Bernice Johnson’s congressional seat in Texas’ 30th District. Following her election, she hit the ground running and won a seat at the Leadership table as Freshman Leadership Representative, a position she will use to advocate for all Texans. As Freshman Leadership Representative, she is one of a few Black women ever elected to Democratic House Leadership. In Congress, Congresswoman Crockett hopes to continue to build on the legacy of Chairwoman Johnson, and will fight to expand access to healthcare, voting rights, economic opportunity, and dignity for all. She will fight to protect Medicare, Social Security, and expand critical social safety net programs. She will continue to be a tireless advocate for civil liberties, immigrant rights, and economic equity for women and the diverse communities across the State of Texas.
Congresswoman Crockett earned her B.A. in Business Administration from Rhodes College and her J.D. from the University of Houston. She is licensed to practice law in Texas, Arkansas, and Federal Courts. Crockett is the past Bowie County Democratic Party Chair, held various leadership positions within the legal community, is a former board member of the Dallas County Metrocare Services, and is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
As a Congresswoman for all Texans, she’s looking forward to continuing our fight and ushering in the next generation of servant leadership in the halls of Congress and Washington, D.C.

Contents
Jasmine Felicia Crockett (born March 29, 1981) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Texas’s 30th congressional district since 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, she represented the 100th district in the Texas House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023.
Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Crockett graduated from Rhodes College with a Bachelor of Arts and from the University of Houston Law Center with a Juris Doctor. Afterward, she was a public defender in Bowie County, Texas, and later formed her own law firm. She was elected to the Texas House in 2020, succeeding Mayor Eric Johnson. In 2026, Crockett was a candidate in the U.S. Senate election in Texas, losing the Democratic primary to state representative James Talarico.
Early life and education
Crockett was born in St. Louis to Rev. Joseph Crockett and Gwen Crockett.[1] She attended Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School and Rosati-Kain Academy.[2] She graduated in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in business administration from Rhodes College.[3] She attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law prior to graduating from the University of Houston Law Center in 2006 with a Juris Doctor.[4]
Early career
From 2007 to 2010, Jasmine Crockett was an attorney for Bowie County Public Defender’s Office.[5] In 2010, Crockett ran for and lost in the Bowie County district attorney race. She was later elected to chair Bowie County’s Democratic Party.[6] In 2010, Crockett started her own law firm, Crockett Law PLLC, which operated until 2022. Her law firm represented victims of alleged police brutality.[7]
Texas House of Representatives (2021–2023)
In 2019, after Eric Johnson vacated his seat in the Texas House to become mayor of Dallas, a special election was held on November 5 with a runoff on January 28, 2020, for the remainder of his term, which Lorraine Birabil won.[8] Crockett challenged Birabil in the 2020 Democratic primary. She narrowly defeated Birabil in a primary runoff, advancing to the November 2020 general election, which she won unopposed. She assumed office in January 2021.[9][10]
In the summer of 2021, Democrats in the Texas House of Representatives, including Crockett, organized a quorum-bust in an attempt to stop the passage of legislation they saw as restricting voting rights in the state.[11] These representatives flew to Washington, D.C., to lobby the United States Senate to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the For the People Act.[12] Crockett supported maintaining the quorum break, however she returned to the state once quorum was reestablished and the legislation stalled in the Senate.[13][14] Three bills she co-authored became law.[7] These included legislation that wiped certain in-court fees for recently incarcerated persons and criminalized financial abuse of the elderly.[15][16]
U.S. House of Representatives (2023–present)

Elections
2022
On November 20, 2021, incumbent representative Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas’s 30th congressional district announced she would not seek reelection in 2022.[17] Four days later, Crockett declared her candidacy for the seat. Johnson simultaneously announced that she was backing Crockett.[18][19] Crockett also received extensive financial support from Super PACs aligned with the cryptocurrency industry, with Sam Bankman-Fried‘s Protect Our Future PAC giving $1 million in support of her campaign.[20] In the Democratic primary election, Crockett and Jane Hope Hamilton, an aide to U.S. representative Marc Veasey, advanced to a runoff election,[21] which Crockett won.[22] She then won the general election on November 8.[23]
Tenure
During the 118th Congress, Crockett served as the Democratic freshman class representative between the House Democratic leadership and the approximately 35 newly-elected Democratic members.[24] In a 2023 impeachment hearing for President Joe Biden, Crockett accused fellow congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans of hypocrisy. She claimed that those launching the impeachment inquiry, and those who brought forth charges against Biden, were ignoring documented evidence of President Donald Trump‘s own criminal offenses; she displayed photos from the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, depicting Trump storing classified documents inside a bathroom (and in other locations lacking security), to which she remarked, “These are our national secrets—looks like in the shitter to me.”[25][26]
In July 2023, Crockett and Congressman Lance Gooden introduced the Secure Testing Resources Instead of Prosecuting (STRIP) Act, which would amend the Controlled Substances Act to change federal rules that currently ban the use, sale, import, and export of fentanyl testing strips as they are classified as drug paraphernalia.[27] She pushed back on Republican proposals to cut food stamps[28] and pressed the U.S. Postal Service on its labor practices after the death of Eugene Gates Jr., a Dallas letter carrier who collapsed on the job during a heat wave.[28] She invited Gates’ widow to be her guest at the 2024 State of the Union address.[29]
In March 2024, Crockett obtained $510,000 in community project funding for Glenn Heights and helped secure $80 million in federal infrastructure grants for North Texas through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.[30] In August 2024, Crockett addressed the 2024 Democratic National Convention. When comparing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to Trump, the Republican nominee, she said of the latter, “He keeps national secrets next to his thinking chair—y’all know what I said the other time.”[31] She served as a co-chair of the 2024 Harris–Walz campaign.[32] In January 2025, Crockett was appointed to the House Judiciary Committee.[33] In March 2025, Crockett called Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is handicapped and uses a wheelchair, “Governor Hot Wheels” and a “Hot Ass Mess” at a speech onstage during Human Rights Campaign‘s annual dinner. Crockett denied that the comment had to do with Abbott’s condition, instead saying that it referenced the “planes, trains, and automobiles” he used to transfer migrants to Democratic communities. Representative Randy Weber filed a censure resolution against Crockett.[34]
In June 2025, Crockett announced her candidacy for ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. She later withdrew from the race to become the ranking member after placing last in the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee vote.[6] In November 2025, Crockett endorsed Christian Menefee for the January 2026 Special Election Runoff for Texas’s 18th Congressional District.[35] In December 2025, Crockett and Rep. Morgan McGarvey and Sens. Rand Paul and Cory Booker reintroduced the Breonna Taylor Act, which is legislation that will ban no-knock search warrants nationwide.[36] In January 2026, Crockett endorsed Frederick Haynes III to be the representative for Texas’s 30th congressional district.[37]

2026 U.S. Senate election in Texas
In December 2025, Crockett announced her bid for U.S. Senate in Texas in the 2026 election.[45] In the Democratic primary, she faced state representative James Talarico and perennial candidate Ahmad Hassan.[46][47] In February 2026, Crockett was criticized for seemingly using AI in a Super Bowl campaign advertisement, to generate a crowd of supporters. The criticism was first raised by Democratic strategist Keith Edwards, who claimed to have found a SynthID watermark in the ad, indicating the use of Google Gemini. Crockett’s team did not deny the allegations.[48] Former Vice President Kamala Harris endorsed Crockett.[49] On March 3, 2026, she lost the Texas Senate Democratic primary to Talarico.[50] After her concession, Crockett released a statement calling for unity: “Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person. This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track. With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win.”[51][52]
Political positions
Crockett has been labeled as a progressive Democrat; however, Crockett has personally distanced herself from the label, calling her positions “common sense”.[53][54]
Abortion
Crockett has voted against rescinding Title IX protections, against limits on abortion-related coverage for servicemembers and against funding for anti-abortion centers.[55]
Congressional reform
Crockett supports reform to the current filibuster rules in the Senate, including creating carveouts for certain categories of legislation like voting rights.[56][57]
Criminal justice
Crockett proposed a law that would allow people facing nonviolent misdemeanors to receive citations instead of jail time. She filed bills that she said would minimize police contact with Black and brown people and save them from “unreasonable uses of force.”[58][59]
Economy
Crockett supports raising the national minimum wage of $7.25.[60] In May 2025, Crockett voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which she referred to as “the Big, Ugly Bill”.[61]
Gun rights
Crockett, who owns a firearm and is licensed to carry, supports a ban on assault weapons. She has opined that private individuals owning assault weapons is “the equivalent of some of these people having a cannon… People literally have almost no chance of surviving when some of these weapons are used.”[62] She acknowledges that passage of an assault weapons ban in Texas is likely not politically achievable.[53]
Immigration and ICE enforcement
Crockett voted against funding the Department of Homeland Security and voiced support for impeaching homeland security secretary Kristi Noem.[61]
Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Crockett’s voting record on issues related to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, including support for several pro-Israel resolutions and military aid measures during the Gaza war, has drawn criticism.[63][64] Crockett frequently frames her position as supporting Israel’s security while pushing for humanitarian protections and ceasefire language.[65] Americans for Justice in Palestine Action has given her low marks on issue-based scorecards and have urged her to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.[66] In August 2023, she took a trip to Israel with Party leadership to tour the Iron Dome.[63]
Track AIPAC has characterized Crockett as having “a poor legislative record on Israel–Palestine issues”.[67] According to Track AIPAC, she has received over $100,000 from donors who also donated to pro-Israel lobby groups. In response, she accused Track AIPAC of being “MAGA plants who are meant to disrupt and confuse”.[68]
Supreme Court
Crockett supports expanding the number of justices on the court and the adoption of an enforceable code of ethics for the justices.[56][57]
Voting rights
In 2023, Crockett reintroduced the Democracy Restoration Act in the house, which would enfranchise millions of convicts who have been released from prison.[69] Crockett said that only federal legislation can prevent millions of Texans from being disenfranchised and warned the changes could affect upcoming midterm elections, including Governor Abbott’s re-election race. She described the fight over voting rights as a “modern-day civil rights movement.”[59]
Rhetorical style
In an Oversight Committee hearing on May 16, 2024, Crockett responded to the following statement by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.” Committee chairman James Comer ruled that this remark did not violate House protocol. To clarify the limits on personal comments, Crockett asked “If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”[70][71] Comer responded with “… a what, now?” On August 19, 2024, the first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Crockett spoke about Republican nominee Donald Trump and asked, “will a vindictive vile villain violate voters’ vision?”[72]
