Jasmine Felicia Crockett (born March 29, 1981) is an American lawyer and 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. After graduating from Rhodes College with a Bachelor of Arts in business administration and earning a Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center, Crockett was a public defender for Bowie County, Texas, and later worked as a personal injury lawyer before her entry into electoral politics. She was elected to the Texas House in 2020, succeeding Mayor Eric Johnson. In 2022, Crockett was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, representing a majority-minority district based in Dallas. Among her assignments, in 2025, Crockett was seated on the Subcommittee on Oversight of the United States House Committee on the Judiciary. Crockett is a candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas for 2026, with her announcement of candidacy in December 2025 gaining widespread coverage.
