Jasmine Crockett formally launches House Oversight bid

  • Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett officially announced her campaign to become the lead Democrat on the House Oversight Committee in 2025 following the passing of Rep. Gerry Connolly.
  • Connolly, who represented Virginia, died on May 21, leaving a leadership gap and prompting House Democrats to elect a new leader amid some conflicting caucus expectations.
  • Crockett, known as a rising Democratic star and Vice Ranking Member, joined other contenders including Robert Garcia and Kweisi Mfume in the race to lead the committee.
  • In her letter, Crockett said, "this cannot be a business-as-usual moment," pledging an aggressive fight to hold the executive branch accountable and defend the Constitution.
  • Her candidacy signals a push for strategic oversight and could influence the Democratic approach to challenge Trump and regain majority control in upcoming elections.
