Jasmine Crockett completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Crockett's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
I am the current elected State Representative for Texas House District 100. I have been named freshman of the year by 3 different organizations, named one of the most effective legislators by another organization, and to the 2021 Root 100 most influential African Americans in the country. I am an attorney licensed to practice in Texas, Arkansas, and multiple federal courts. I am above-all a servant. I've dedicated the majority of my career to assisting indigent accused persons in the justice system and I have dedicated countless hours to my community through my sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc. and otherwise. In the midst of the George Floyd protests, I represented innocent protestors pro-bono, approximately 600 of them, successfully.
I am a believer and defender of democracy, especially when it comes to voting rights.
We are struggling economically more-so than ever, which is why I will work to bring good paying jobs to the district.
In the midst of this pandemic, we in Texas, are especially suffering from health care coverage neglect. I am committed to expanding access to healthcare in Texas.
As a civil rights & criminal defense attorney, I am absolutely passionate about the inequities that I see, in general, and am deeply concerned about the constitutional rights of people that are seemingly being stripped away. Specifically, I am passionate about the criminal justice system, education, housing, jobs, healthcare, voting rights, reproductive rights, and climate injustices. These are all areas that I have worked to propound policy change, but in the absence of policy, I have specifically attempted to stand in the gap for my community. By that I mean, while the legislature refused to expand upon medicaid in Texas, our office partnered with local organizations to provide a mammogram clinic for those with or without insurance. We also worked to provide eye glasses to children in socio-economically disadvantaged situations. We also vaccinated more people through our office than any other. These are simply a few ways that we are working beyond the roadblocks that policy change sometimes presents.
Barbara C Jordan is an icon in politics and beyond. As the first African American woman elected to Congress from Texas, I can't help but to think that I wouldn't be on this journey but for the barriers that she, first, knocked down. I want the generations behind me to know that I, too, was committed to creating a space in which they could do more than imagine doors opening, but could and would walk through many doors and break many more glass ceilings. I simply want to bring back some semblance of honesty and reliability to politics overall. People are so distrusting of those in the political arena, for good reason, but I don't imagine that it was like that when Congresswoman Jordan ran. I imagine that people trusted that she made decisions based upon the genuine needs of the people within her district.
It is really simple for me. I believe my ability to communicate with constituents, stakeholders, other colleagues, as well as other elected officials, really allows for one to succeed because nothing gets done with just the work of one person, it takes all of us to be successful.
The core responsibilities are to write bills and hopefully pass them into law. Depending on the dynamics of the House and the Senate, the primary responsibility may be to kill bills to protect the constituents of the district from disastrous legislation such as the voter suppression bills that passed in Texas. The next major role of a Congressperson is to provide constituent services for those in the district and be an effective communicator for and to the District. Finally, a role that I think most people don't understand that is critical, especially, in a district like 30, is to "stand in the gap." By that, I mean, we need to be a bridge between resources and opportunities, Legislation, alone, can't fix all of the problems that we face, but we can't stop at legislation if we see a problem. As an elected, it is incumbent upon me to be a problem solver. Something that I have been for years for thousands. When the solution can't be written into law, you have to be creative and come up with an answer to the problem.
Ultimately, I want people to say that my life was dedicated to giving a voice and hope to the forgotten and ignored. I want people to say that I fought for equality in every facet of people's lives.
Columbine was the first historical event that I vividly recall. I was a senior in high school and had never heard of a school shooting occurring. Sadly, now, it is commonplace, so much so that children are given school shooting drills.
Honestly, finding the strength to keep going in politics. I thank my village. Many people avoid politics because it can get so ugly, but I truly believe that when there is a purpose on your life and you walk in it, that you will be given the strength to keep going.
I absolutely believe it is beneficial. In a district like mine, we are losing 30 years of experience and seniority. We need someone who has an idea of what they are doing. It is the difference between the theoretical and reality. I understand, not only, how to translate the needs of my district into policy, but I, most importantly, understand my district. I understand the hours of dedication that are needed for the job and possess the skillset to know that sometimes it is just about preventing bad bills from seeing the light of day. People campaign and believe that it is only about passing bills and most don't understand that the system is designed to kill bills. There are 435 US Reps in this country and in order to pass a bill, you have to get I also know what it is to provide services to our constituents.
I think we are fractured. We used to refer to our country as a melting pot. We used to say that we were a nation of immigrants, yet, we are now more divided than ever. Race relations are seemingly not improving. Now, it just seems that we can't agree over the basic things, such as data and science. Seemingly, facts have become a partisan fight which is now permeating every facet of our lives. We are partially still being plagued with this virus because to listen to science has become a democratic attribute, when we used to lead the world in science and research and we used to ALL rely upon it.
Beyond that, climate change is an existential threat that caused us to experience things such as our winter storm, yet people are fighting against the tide to reduce our carbon imprint.
I am not a current US Representative, so these are the committees that I would be interested in: Judiciary, Small Business, & Science, Space, & Technology
As a current TX State Representative, I proudly serve on the Business & Industry & Criminal Jurisprudence committees. In short, these two committees summarize who I am. I majored in Business Administration while in undergraduate school at Rhodes College and I have been a public defender and criminal defense attorney on both the state and federal levels in multiple states. I truly believe that I have added value to these committees because I personally know what it is to work as a small business owner, as well as I am keenly aware of the flaws within our criminal justice system.
NO! I absolutely believe we need at least four years. Constituents are cheated out of time because representatives are consistently running for office. it isn't fair to constituents, donors, nor democracy as a whole.
I, generally, believe in term limits. I think that the limits should depend upon the position. For instance, Texas has no term limits on our Governor. I think that is a mistake that we are going to be paying for, for some time, because he lead the effort to make it even harder for Texans to vote, which may allow him to stay in office, even longer.
Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm. She consistently stood strong while paving the way for future leaders like me. We need self-assured leaders that have the courage to stand on the right side of history, especially during these tumultuous times.
I would say that my current constituents/family (the Gonzalez family), inspire me to fight harder, longer, and smarter. You see, Libby is a trans girl who simply wants to live, love, and play in her home state of Texas, but our state has consistently decided that instead of focusing on issues that are hurting All of US, such as the lack of access to healthcare or a failing grid, lawmakers thought it was fun to target an elementary school girl. I can't imagine how scary Texas is for Libby and other children, but as an adult, it only seemed right to do all that I could to try to have a conversation about "culture war" bills such as those that flew through the Texas house and try to address the issues from a humanity point of view. Libby and her little sister push me to make this world better. I hated that these amazing girls were coming to testify at the legislature regarding bills that were solutions in search of a problem.
We had an incident at the capitol where there were some adult bullies that began harassing trans children and their friends. While I was on the house floor, my staff contacted me about helping out. We opened our office to all of the families that had driven far and wide to testify. We officially became a safe haven in what is supposed to be the "peoples' house."
Compromise is what our political system used to be built upon. I would prefer to use the word, bipartisanship, but everything seems to be votes down party lines, no matter if it makes sense or not. I will give you an example. This session, when the house voted to pass permit-less carry, allowing anyone over the age of 21 to walk around with a firearm and not requiring any licensing or training, we had a debate over some amendments on the floor. There was a provision of the bill that said everyone except gang members could carry. This seemed like it was smart for public policy, but when the issue of white supremacists and extremists came up as defined in the federal code from being disallowed to carry, the amendment failed. Republicans thought it was ok for them to carry firearms. There was no room for compromise on our side and seemingly no moral compass for our colleagues across the aisle. When the voting bill came about, we heard from bipartisan elections administrators of the dangers of this bill and why it should not go into effect. In fact, more people testified against the bill than for it, but they were ignored. Our system isn't working right now because facts and data are being ignored. It has cost us lives in covid and it is causing the crumbling our democracy as it relates to voting.
Well, this is a tough one. The reality is that I would be 1 of 435. I am not sure, but of course, the fight these days seems to be in the Senate and there may be something that the Senate really wants done and we may be able to leverage this to finally get some bills moved through both chambers instead of things, seemingly, only passing the house.

Campaign website
Crockett's campaign website stated the following:
“
Voting rights
Representative Jasmine Crockett has been a national voice for voting rights at the state and federal levels. As a leader of the Texas Democrat’s quorum break to stop Abbott’s voter suppression agenda, Jasmine took this fight to DC and pressured members of Congress to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights and Restoration Act and the For The People Act. Jasmine believes that our democracy works best when all eligible voters have access to the ballot and a meaningful opportunity to elect a candidate who truly represents the community. Unless we make strides in voting rights, we will never have the representation or courage to effect change across the country or move forward on the issues that matter most. In 2021, Jasmine filed over a dozen bills that would modernize, secure, and make our elections more efficient while expanding access to the ballot for every eligible Texan. Her voting rights package included bills to automatically register, register online, vote-by-mail for all eligible voters, drive thru and 24-hour voting.
Healthcare
Jasmine believes healthcare is a human right and will champion policies that increase coverage and access, keep costs low, and ensure every American can get the healthcare they need in their own community. Jasmine also believes we should cover the full spectrum of healthcare including dental, vision, mental health, and reproductive freedom.
Worker's rights
Jasmine has been named the Worker’s Champion by the Workers Defense Fund for her advocacy and steadfast commitment to working people and families. She believes everyone should be paid a livable wage, have the right to protections in the workplace, supports paid family and medical leave, and believes that one full-time job should be enough.
Reproductive justice
Texas has the highest rates of maternal mortality and the most restrictive abortion laws in the nation. Jasmine is a vocal fighter against Abbott’s Six Week Ban and has joined multiple briefs to the Supreme Court asking them to strike this unconstitutional law down. She believes the choice of if and when to give birth, the number and spacing of pregnancies are all personal choices between a person and their physician — not politicians. Jasmine supports codifying Roe and ending the Hyde Amendment as first steps to secure the right to abortion.
Immigration
Texas Congressional District 30 is home to rich diversity and has benefited greatly from the contributions of immigrants who call North Texas home. Jasmine firmly believes in creating a real pathway to citizenship, protecting DACA and fighting for DREAMers. We have bore witness to the atrocities being committed against migrants by our government and enough is enough. It is time we treat immigrants as people and recognize the grave dangers they are fleeing and their earnest desire to create a productive life in America. We are a nation of immigrants and that will not change but it is time our laws do.
Criminal justice
as a criminal defense attorney and former public defender, Jasmine has a unique perspective and knowledge of our criminal justice system and it’s flaws. Jasmine sits on the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee and has moved numerous criminal justice bills in the House. Jasmine is committed to improving our outdated, costly, and ineffective criminal justice system into one that is rehabilitative, reduces recidivism, is fiscally and morally responsible, and ensures we do not profiteer from incarceration.
Economy
As a small business owner, Jasmine knows our mom and pop shops are the backbone of not just our local economies but our very community. Jasmine believes we need an economy that works for everyone, and where we all have a fair shake. Jasmine has worked hard to bring economic opportunities to our district and will continue fighting for increased access to capital and increased resources for small businesses and woman-and minority-owned businesses.
Education
Jasmine is the daughter of a teacher and knows firsthand the benefits of a strong education. Jasmine supports providing a world-class public education from early childhood through post-secondary for Americans. We must be competitive on the global stage and that starts by making sure we are cultivating young minds to be the leaders of tomorrow. Education should be enriching and uplift us, not saddle people down with insurmountable debt. Jasmine supports vocational education as well to ensure we have a strong workforce where everyone has a chance to get ahead through hard work.
Equality & Civil rights
Jasmine has been a Civil Rights attorney for over 15 years and has represented high-profile cases including the families of Jordan Edwards, Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, Jackie Craig and many more North Texans who have been victims of injustice. Jasmine has been a champion for Texans from all walks of life and every identity. Jasmine has fought anti-LGBT legislation tooth and nail in the Texas House, and will fight for increased protections from discrimination. Jasmine will continue being a steadfast and vocal ally of the LGBT+ community.
Environmental justice
Jasmine has worked closely with constituents in North Texas who are directly impacted by environmental inequality in our district. From shingle mountain to the concrete plants in south and west Dallas, Jasmine has been fighting to clean up our community from pollution
Restoring balance to the judiciary
Jasmine is a civil rights attorney who practices in federal courts and has submitted briefs to the Supreme Court of the United States urging them to uphold the constitution in key cases. Jasmine knows first hand and firmly believes that our nation is strongest when we have a fair, impartial, and balanced judiciary. She believes that Congress not only has the authority, but an oath-sworn duty, to take any actions that will restore balance to our courts.[3]
Jasmine Crockett completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2019. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Crockett's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
In the midst of political turmoil where millions are fighting for social equity, some lace up their shoes and march for justice while others infiltrate to change the very system that legally oppresses them; my life's work has consisted of both vital components in today's civil rights movement.
From a public defender in Bowie County, Texas, to private practice, I have served people in the states of Texas and Arkansas as well as in Federal Courts, defending accusations waged in a broken criminal justice system. Though the media has covered my efforts to seek justice for Beauty Queen Carmen Ponder, Mother Jackie Craig, Student Jordan Edwards, The Dallas 9, and Entrepreneur Mark Hughes, very few are able to witness the work that must continue after the limelight has passed.
As the only Female Attorney in the race and potentially the first female attorney to be elected to the position, I am running for one simple reason; I have grown weary of representing people in court with my hands tied behind my back. Texas laws have not been written with the everyday Texan in mind. I am the only one that understands how broken our laws are, especially when it comes to criminal justice. I have been licensed for approximately 14 years and it is time to have someone that is unafraid in Austin. I will champion common sense gun reform, criminal justice reform, property tax relief, funding for education and mental health, and socioeconomic opportunities for All.
My sorority Sisters Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan. They can both be characterized as un-bought, unafraid, and un-bossed. It is time to throw things back to the type of leader that the people know will stay in touch with them and fight for what matters most to the people and no one else. As the only candidate to collect signatures in lieu of paying the filing fee to get on the ballot, my team believes in not being wasteful of the hard earned dollars entrusted to us, but we also believe in connecting with the people to know what it is that they need and/or want. We collected over 1000 signatures to get on the ballot because we are all for doing the hard work. It is time for a hardworking, people focused, spitfire in Austin.
It was probably the Rodney King beating. I was ten years old at the time and obviously didn't have the understanding of the situation, that I currently have, but it was widely talked about, even all the way in Missouri. I just remembered being sad for Mr. King and not understanding why this man had been beaten so savagely by the people that were sworn to protect and serve. I will say that I never thought that type of violence happened throughout our country. At the time, I was definitely of the belief that this was a random occurrence. It was the only time I had heard of something like that happening.
I worked for Western Union as a Customer Service Representative (CSR) where I answered calls and assisted with sending money via phone. I worked there during my junior and senior years in high school and on my holiday breaks from college, I would go back and work.
Honestly, the power of my vote, is the biggest difference. My vote is quite diluted on the house side versus the strength it would carry on the Senate side.
No. I may think that the opposite is better. For a state legislator to be successful, I believe that they should have some knowledge of the laws and the improvements that need to be made within them. Sometimes if people have been entrenched in politics, then that's all they will give you is Politics... People are ready for elected officials that will put People over Politics.
Criminal justice reform. Texas' current incarceration rate (1,035 per 100,000) is 80% higher than New York's (574 per 100,000), yet Texas' crime rate (5,111 per 100,000) is 30% higher than New York's (3,588 per 100,000). The Texas prison system grew faster than any other prison system in the country during the 1990s, adding nearly one out of every 5 prisoners to the nation's prison boom. In a recent study released by the Washington, DC-based Justice Policy Institute on August 29th, the criminal justice think tank found that one out of every 20 adults in Texas were either in prison, jail, on probation or on parole. There are more people in prison in Texas than in any other state, and Texas' incarceration rate is second only to Louisiana. Criminal Justice Reform has to become a reality, sooner rather than later. It affects our overall economy, education, homelessness, and so much more.
Ideally, it wouldn't be adversarial, but I would imagine that in the great state of Texas, I can't imagine being on the same page with many legislative issues with Governor Abbott. Either way, respect must be afforded on all sides.
I've heard too many heartbreaking stories, but I will summarize two. One deals with a retired teacher who is on a fixed income and has been living in her home for over 30 years, but even with the legislature giving her a "thirteenth" check, she's unsure as to if she will be able to continue to reside in her home because the property taxes are increasing at an astronomical rate. I have also heard from multiple seniors that their "low income" housing rent continues to increase every year and they are unsure of their futures because there are no fixed rent policies in the State.

The following table lists bills this person sponsored as a legislator, according to BillTrack50 and sorted by action history. Bills are sorted by the date of their last action.

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
