Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was sworn into her second term for the 119th Congress, representing Texas’ 30th Congressional District. Law school friend, Judge Audrey Moorehead of Dallas County Criminal Court #3 officiated the ceremony, where Crockett stood beside her mother in a touching moment of support.
She highlighted securing funding for a premier health research facility as her greatest accomplishment, aimed at advancing medicine and lowering healthcare costs. She also reflected on the current administration, stating, “Buckle up, buttercup,” signaling an eventful term ahead.
At a press conference, Crockett called for unity and announced a new podcast to amplify Democratic voices in underserved areas. “We have to go where the people are, get back to grassroots work, and reach rural America,” she said.
Addressing political concerns, she warned, “We are in scarier times,” urging attendees to stay safe and carry proper documentation if needed. She also emphasized the importance of local elections, reinforcing that every vote counts at every level of government.”
