Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) issued the following statement following her community swearing-in ceremony last night:
“It was an honor to be sworn-in to the 118th Congress surrounded by loved ones and this beautiful community I am blessed serve in Washington. Each member of our community has a role in not only my success, but in making this community stronger. Each day I am fueled by this community’s support and genuine care for the common-good. I am proud of our movement and am committed to doing the good work to bring equity back to Texas’ 30th Congressional District. I’m especially thankful for our House Democratic leadership – House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark – who traveled to Dallas to support the good people of North Texas and to experience the beauty of this district. I remain steadfast in my dedication to ensuring the needs of this community are at the forefront of my work. This is only the beginning.”
