Rep. Crockett Selected as Ranking Member of House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight
WASHINGTON, DC - On January 15, 2025, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) announced her appointment to the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight as Ranking Member. She will also serve on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration.
"In less than a week, President-elect Trump will return to the White House armed with his far-right Project 2025 agenda and a Supreme Court filled with Justices he himself appointed. It is the role of the House Judiciary Committee to provide a crucial check on our courts and criminal legal system, but the past two years have taught us that the House Republican Conference has no interest in providing that check if it risks the ire of the Orange Man in the White House. It is up to the House Democratic Caucus to demand accountability of our courts and law enforcement systems and defend the civil rights and liberties of the communities that have suffered abuse at the hands of these systems: women, communities of color, religious minorities, LGBTQIA communities, disabled Americans, and immigrant communities. I am honored to be named to the role Ranking Member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, and am eager to work alongside my colleagues under the brilliant leadership of Ranking Member Raskin as we fight defend our constitution and preserve the reproductive rights, voting rights, and civil liberties of all Americans we are charged to serve."
“Rep. Jasmine Crockett will be an outstanding Ranking Member of the critical House Subcommittee on Responsiveness and Accountability to Oversight in the 119th Congress, and her appointment is a testament to her exceptional capabilities and dynamic leadership. Collaborating closely with Ranking Member Jamie Raskin and the entire Judiciary Committee, Rep. Crockett will address critical challenges and advance meaningful initiatives for the American people. I look forward to witnessing all she will achieve in this role,” said Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse.
