As an attorney, Cristal is licensed in North Carolina, Texas, and District of Columbia. Cristal has been in over 46 courts and worked with close to a 1000 clients in various cases. Cristal is a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, which is limited to just one percent of lawyers licensed to practice in each jurisdiction.
Cristal states the reason for running for District 68,
“The current political climate has turned many people's lives into a culture war. The majority party has become tyrannical over science with the mask and vaccine mandates, over history and even reading with book bans and restricted curriculum, and even became an overbearing majority focused on taking the medical rights of parent's, children, and women. I understand the rule of law and the role of the administrative agencies along with the way legislation must be Constitutional. I want to stand up for the rights of everyone - the disabled, the LGBTQ+ community, the vulnerable, and women’s right to choose their reproductive medical care."
