Notable personal detailsJasmine Felicia Crockett is an American attorney and politician serving as the U.S. representative for Texas’s 30th congressional district since 2023. She previously served in the Texas House of Representatives (District 100) from 2021 to 2023. Crockett worked as a public defender and later practiced civil rights, criminal defense, and related law before entering electoral politics. She has announced a campaign for the U.S. Senate in Texas for the 2026 election cycle.
Supports targeted tax and affordability measures aimed at helping working- and middle-class families (expanded Earned Income Tax Credit, permanent child tax credit, tax credits for newborns), opposes new taxes on individuals earning under $400,000, and has cosponsored worker-focused tax legislation. Positions emphasize expanding refundable credits and reducing costs for households rather than broad tax cuts for high earners.
Supports Medicare for All and a single-payer approach that would expand coverage to include dental, vision, mental health, and reproductive care; advocates eliminating premiums, deductibles, and copays and capping out-of-pocket costs while backing measures to lower drug prices.
Supports comprehensive immigration reform with expanded legal pathways and a straightforward path to citizenship for Dreamers and undocumented Texans, while opposing large-scale detention and deportation practices. Has introduced and supported legislation to increase transparency and limit aggressive ICE enforcement, and has criticized recent federal detention and deportation actions. Emphasizes humanitarian protections for asylum seekers and oversight of detention conditions.
Jasmine Crockett describes herself as an outspoken believer in the right to choose and supports federal measures to protect and expand access to abortion and accurate information about abortion care. She has introduced legislation to combat anti‑abortion misinformation and has publicly criticized Texas’ strict abortion restrictions and their impact on maternal health. Her official House materials and press statements frame reproductive health decisions as matters that should not be restricted by state bans or government interference.
Supports expanding renewable energy and electrification, advancing environmental justice, and investing in green infrastructure and clean-energy transitions while acknowledging Texas’s oil and gas industry and emphasizing a just transition for affected communities.
Supports banning assault-style weapons and backing stronger federal gun-safety measures; has opposed Texas permitless-carry and related pro-carry legislation and has low ratings from pro-gun organizations. Positions emphasize reducing mass-shooting fatalities while acknowledging lawful gun ownership.
Jasmine Crockett lost the Texas Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to state Rep. James Talarico. On election night, she raised concerns about delayed vote counting in Dallas County and accused the GOP of targeting Democratic voters, as a court ruled late-cast ballots should be separated from earlier votes. The race drew national attention as Democrats look toward a competitive general election, with the Republican nominee still to be decided in a runoff.
