Rep. Crockett Appointed to House Judiciary Committee; Retains Position on House Oversight and Accountability Committee

WASHINGTON, DC - On January 14, 2025, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) announced her appointment to the House Judiciary Committee and re-appointment to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. She 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. 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. I am also thrilled to continue working alongside my good friend and mentor, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin. In continuing my role on the House Oversight Committee, I remain fired up and ready to work with both returning and new colleagues under the strong leadership of Rep. Gerry Connolly, where we will continue to shine a spotlight on government abuses and corruption.

“With Donald Trump poised to use the Republican-controlled Congress and the rest of the federal government as a rubber-stamp for his Project 2025 right-wing agenda, the role of House Democrats has never been more critical. This may be a new Congress, but my fight for what’s right remains as true and strong as in the last Congress. No matter how hard my Republican colleagues work to strip back the rights and protections afforded to the people of this country, I will continue to dedicate myself to preserving and protecting our democracy. I am grateful to the Caucus for putting their faith in me to serve in these important roles. Let’s get to work.”
