Jasmine Crockett will officially carry the torch handed down by retiring Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson now that she’s won the U.S. House District 30 race.
PUBLISHED 11:29 PM CST Nov. 08, 2022DALLAS — At the start of her campaign, she told her constituents that she wanted to continue the work her predecessor did for the past 50 years.
Crockett, who invited residents to come to her watch party at Gilley’s in Downtown Dallas took to the stage after the announcement of her win against Rodgers. A lawyer for the past 16 years, Crockett told the crowd that running for Congress was a huge decision admitting that she loved practicing law and trying cases in court.
“So, I was the one who was green,” she said, laughing. “I think we all discovered that, but in that greenness, I had this fight. I had this desire. She can tell you that. I was mad all of the time, I was pushing back and people were trying to tell me that’s just the way it is and I was like, ‘this can’t be the way it is,’ because my constituency deserves better, they deserve a voice, they deserve a voice and I’m going to be that even if we lose.
