Jasmine Crockett Wins in Landslide [View all]

First-term Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has won her first re-election by an overwhelming margin in Texas's 30th Congressional district. She does not have a Republican opponent, so she returns to Washington with 93% of her district voting for her.

Crockett has already established herself as a rising star in the party with her amazing work on the Oversight Committee, where she goes right after the worst of the worst in the Republican Party. Here she is hammering Nancy Mace after she talked about white privilege:

We are happy that Rep. Crockett will be back for another term with a very bright future ahead of her in Congress and possibly beyond!
