Criminal Justice
The pursuit of justice is ongoing, and always will be, which is why Congresswoman Crockett is eager to find legislative solutions that will uplift all. Having fought, pro bono, for individuals in the courtroom in the past, Crockett has been on the frontlines of police brutality, protester harm, and more. Her unique perspective of our criminal justice system sets her up for success in crafting legislation that will update outdated systems of oppression and reduce recidivism.
