Congressperson Jasmine Crockett of Dallas speaking at the Democratic National Convention

Dallas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was appointed to the powerful House Judiciary Committee as she begins her second term in office.

She was re-appointed to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and will no longer be serving on the House Agriculture Committee.

“As a public defender, civil rights and criminal defense attorney, state representative, and now United States congresswoman, I have dedicated the past two decades to advocating for the most vulnerable individuals in our society and leveling the playing field for justice-impacted individuals,” Corckett said in a press release. “I am honored to continue my fight for justice as a member of the House Judiciary Committee and look forward to protecting Americans’ civil rights and liberties, upholding the Constitution, and improving the administration of justice throughout America’s criminal legal system.”
