Crockett, a criminal defense attorney, became especially popular for her political stances and for being extremely vocal about the current Trump administration, leading to many battles with fellow Congress members. Jasmine went viral after an extremely heated exchange with former US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. She was heavily criticized for calling Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is wheelchair bound, "Governor Hot Wheels."

The US Representative also serves on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees. Her primary focus in Congress is civil rights, voting rights, immigration, criminal justice reform, and economic equity. Crockett will remain in the US House of Representatives through the remainder of her term.
