From Texas to Washington, D.C., Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett plans to continue fighting for her constituents in her newly sworn-in role as U.S. District 30 Representative.
Based on data, District 30 — a majority minority population — includes a demographic of more than 80% Black or Hispanic, with a high concentration of poverty.
“My district is home to 750,000 North Texans in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex,” she said. “My district has always been anchored by the City of Dallas and today it includes Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Ovilla, DeSoto, Glenn Heights, Lancaster, Hutchins and Wilmer in addition to downtown, west and South Dallas. I will fight for the small towns in my community as loudly and as boldly as I will fight for the big city.
“I look forward to working with my fellow House Democrats to push forward bold, progressive legislation that combats voter suppression, reproductive justice, prison reform, climate change, inflation, homelessness and more,” she said. “Each day, I will carry the values and lessons that have molded me into the leader I am today and will wake up emboldened to fight for a better America and a better North Texas.
