Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, may be a politician but she’s not in office for political games.
“I want to make an impact in my community,” says Crockett, who sits on the House Oversight Committee. “That is why I initially got into politics. I could care less for the actual political side of things, but I love people and I love doing everything that I can to make sure that people feel like they have a real and educated voice that will speak up for them.”
“Because without the banking in this country, we know that there have been small minority businesses that have been harmed in a very disproportionate way, so I really want to focus on the money side of things and direct money for the district.
Crockett also said she wanted to focus on home ownership and making housing more affordable for her constituents.

“It sounds more like retribution” than a justification for unleashing the panel’s vast authority, she said.

“My heart, like much of our nation’s, aches as another of our sons, Tyre Nichols, is laid to rest today. Though this pain is sadly familiar, it hurts no less.
