Jasmine Felicia Crockett (born March 29, 1981) is an American lawyer and politician who has been a U.S. representative from Texas's 30th congressional district since January 2023 as a member of the Democratic Party. Her district covers most of South Dallas County, Central Dallas, Dallas Love Field Airport, and parts of Tarrant County.

In the 118th Congress, Crockett served as the Democratic freshman class representative between the House Democratic leadership and the (approximately) 35 newly-elected Democratic members.[1] Crockett was named as co-chair of the 2024 Harris-Walz campaign.[2] Crockett is currently a part of the Democratic Congressional Progressive Caucus.[3]

Crockett previously represented the 100th district in the Texas House of Representatives. Prior to that, she was a public defender for Bowie County, Texas, and had previously practiced law in a private firm.
