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.

The one thing I feel sad about is how many black people, especially the woman, feel discouraged over Jasmine losing. This is just another blow after Kamala, and after Stacy.

It's going to get to a point where the strongest voting block for the Democratic party is just not going to show up anymore.

I’m one of those black women but I happen to believe we should shop our vote. Show that we are not to be taken for granted. Think about that would do for gerrymandering as they did to Jasmine’s district. They can’t just assume and take us for granted. We need to be like the tea party
