What to know about Rep. Jasmine Crockett
Jasmine Crockett has served as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 30th Congressional District since January 2023, focusing on civil liberties, criminal justice reform, and equality for underrepresented communities. She took office on 1/3/2023.
In 2023, Crockett filed numerous bills focusing on civil rights, criminal justice reform, and economic issues. Those that passed?
In 2024, focusing on immigration and government efficiency. Bills?
In 2025, she was Elected as Freshman Leadership Representative. No bill against illegal immigration?
She, however, is a vocal critic of Republican policies, particularly during oversight hearings. Wow!
Things you should know about Rep. Jasmine Crockett:
She remains unbothered by the throes of nasty politics — one could even argue she embraces it. Crockett notably boycotted the state legislative body alongside other Democrats to prevent a Republican majority from passing a restrictive Texas bill in 2020.
Crockett notably boycotted the state legislative body alongside other Democrats to prevent a Republican majority from passing a restrictive Texas bill in 2020 — how to verify the registrations before voting? Tapped to be a surrogate for Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign. First Black female Democrat to play in a congressional baseball game. Wow!
Her net worth is approx. $9 million, annual income at $1M — on a Rep’s salary? Income source: salary, rentals, investments. Must have Pelosi as an advisor! Jasmine Crockett is reportedly extremely difficult to work for — someone who thinks she is perfect!
She prioritizes social media over legislative work. Crockett is reportedly extremely rude to her staff, according to the New York Post. Reprisal from Crockett seems likely to happen to anyone who dares to speak out against her publicly. Here are some of the most egregious offenses:
"She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them," one former aide said. "She is never in the office and is very disengaged. She does her BS that goes viral, and then freaks out over the most random things."
"She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress," according to another. Crockett requires staff members to rent luxury vehicles to drive her to the Capitol, despite living a short distance away. That is a solid use of taxpayer funds.
"I don’t want to hear Jasmine Crockett talk about helping black women when she just fired one for no reason!"
"But truly, the only person that she thinks about and cares about is herself."
Another time, in the car, after an aide brought Crockett a paper bag full of food from a fundraiser, she peered inside, scrunched her nose, and said, "This looks like crap.’"
Controversial scandal allegations: Crockett faces serious allegations in an FEC complaint over suspicious Act Blue donations, with accusations that her campaign accepted money from unwitting elderly donors who claim they never authorized the contributions.
The Coolidge Reagan Foundation filed a formal FEC complaint alleging serious violations of federal election law. Crockett’s campaign accepted $610 across 56 transactions from a retiree who was unaware of making these donations. The FEC has received the complaint and initiated an investigation but will not comment until resolution. Crockett’s campaign allegedly failed to properly disclose contributors’ identities and accepted contributions made in another person’s name, which would constitute federal violations. If proven, that Act Blue may be involved in a large-scale scheme to launder money for Democratic candidates by using the names of unsuspecting elderly individuals, allegations regarding Act Blue’s handling of “straw donors," individuals whose names are used for donations funded by others.
Then the Department of Justice and the Office of Congressional Ethics. These supplementary filings broaden the scope of allegations against Crockett to include potential voter intimidation concerns alongside the campaign finance issues.
She has no respect for disabled people. In May 2025, Jasmine Crockett landed herself in some hot water after pictures of her skipping the queue at an airport went viral. She was spotted with a taxpayer-funded police escort, cutting everyone in line — even making disabled people wait. She made an offhanded comment about Texas Governor Greg Abbott in March 2025. The governor, who uses a wheelchair, was dubbed "Governor Hot Wheels."
Re. the post: she had accepted around $400,000 from PACs. Plus, those in 2020! False claims of donations received by republicans from Epstein — open big month, insert foot!
An example of true classlessness, weird with an amazing mouth and eyelashes that knows how game the system!
