Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, expressing her views and addressing various political matters, recently turned to social media to highlight issues and extend gratitude. As a representative of Texas’ 30th district since 2023, she succeeded Eddie Bernice Johnson and continues to be a vocal advocate in her congressional role. She combines her background in law, having earned a JD from the University of Houston, with her political experience, which began in the Texas House from 2021.
On April 26, 2025, Crockett voiced her concerns on the dismantling of a federal agency. “Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses—That’s exactly what Trump did. The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few. You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.” She criticized former President Trump’s administration for significantly reducing the workforce of the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA).
On April 28, 2025, she extended her gratitude towards Congressman Gerry Connolly via social media. “Thank you, @GerryConnolly, for your years of leadership on the Oversight Committee and in Congress. You’ve been a fierce defender of truth and accountability, and it’s been an honor to not only serve alongside you, but to learn from you.” Crockett thanked Connolly for his leadership and service, highlighting his dedication to truth and accountability.
Later the same day, she issued a formal statement following Congressman Connolly’s announcement regarding his future plans. “Today, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30), Vice Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued the following statement in response to Congressman Gerry Connolly’s announcement that he will not seek re-election and will step down as Ranking” This statement marked Connolly’s decision not to seek re-election, acknowledging his forthcoming resignation from his ranking position.
Jasmine Crockett, born in St. Louis, Missouri and currently residing in Dallas, reflects her commitment through her legislative work. Her academic journey began at Rhodes College, where she graduated in 2003, setting the stage for her legal and political career.
