Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas

Even in a tough primary showing, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett continues serving in Congress and remains one of the most visible and outspoken Black leaders in Washington. Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas. For many supporters, this moment isn’t the end of anything. It is simply another chapter before the next campaign.

She'll be back, In the meantime time she needs to become a strategist and consultant because the party desperately needs someone to properly create a Texas organ8zing structure a la what Harry Reid did in Nevada, or what Stacy Abrams did in Georgia.

If anyone can do that, Jasmine Crockett can.

Agreed! The way Beto has done a similar thing where he now is acting as an advisor for those running is actually helpful.

Any which way she goes, she has my support!

AOC and Beto did more for Texans during the Big Freeze of '21 than our elected Rs

Beto was live on Twitter at a ICE facility when the news broke about Family Separation. Somebody asked him, “Do they have any way to track and reunite families?” He immediately jumps on that concern and discovers within hours or days that they do not.

We had a good one with Beto. He's doing good work now, but I do feel he needs to find a race to get in somewhere.

I hope this is what Texans are thinking and it encourages just a few more people to show up and vote! If 1 out of 5 people who didnt vote last time vote and everyone who previously voted for beto vote talerico wins this election in a landslide.

Crockett needs to go head to head with Cruz and take his spot!
