Jasmine Crockett Net Worth: The Reverend's daughter who became a fierce Congresswoman

Rep Jasmine Crockett is back in the news again.

The American lawyer and politician, who has been a US representative from Texas's 30th congressional district since January 2023 as a member of the Democratic Party, recently claimed that Democrats are eying the “safest white boy” ahead of the 2028 election.

In the clip shared by Clay Cane, one of the hosts of ‘Urban View’, the group is seen speaking about potential candidates when Crockett offers her insight. “It is, it is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost,” she explained. Crockett didn’t name names, but suggested the party already has “one specific candidate” in mind.

Here’s all you need to know about the fierce Congresswoman.


Who is Rep Jasmine Crockett ?
In the 118th Congress, Rep Jasmine Felicia Crockett (born in 1981) served as the Democratic freshman class representative between the House Democratic leadership and the (approximately) 35 newly elected Democratic members. She was named as co-chair of the 2024 Harris-Walz campaign and is currently a part of the Democratic Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The African-American politician previously represented the 100th district in the Texas House of Representatives. Before that, she was a public defender for Bowie County, Texas, and had previously practiced law in a private firm.


Net worth:

According to reports, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has an alleged net worth of between $2 million and $9 million in 2025. As a Texas House member and counselor, she reportedly earns $174,000 annually. She has amassed her wealth through her career as an attorney, business ventures, and salary from congressional work.


Crockett began her legal career after graduating from the University of Houston Law Center in 2006. She worked as a public defender in the Bowie County Public Defender's Office, tirelessly keeping children safe and out of jail.

Her dedication to justice and equality led her to become a civil rights attorney. She advocated for marginalised communities and focused on social justice, discrimination, and equal rights issues.

In 2019, she formed her law firm, which became notable for taking pro bono cases for Black Lives Matter activists. Among her legal career highlights was her commitment to defending the most vulnerable and ensuring everyone had access to fair representation.


Parents and family members:

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Crockett’s parents are Rev. Joseph Crockett , a teacher and preacher, and Gwen, a former postal worker. Jasmine Crockett's family instilled in her a commitment to service, particularly to the underserved, for which she is grateful.

In a 2023 Father's Day Instagram post, she shared, “It's my daddy's leadership and love in the church that raised me and inspires me to this day to be the best Congresswoman I can be.” She also expressed her gratitude toward her mother in a June 2023 Instagram post: “She's never left my side & has always had my back. Last night was no exception. At almost 2 am, my mom was there to witness me officially be sworn in as a United States Congresswoman!”


Education and career:

Growing up as a Baptist, Crockett attended Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School and Rosati-Kain, an all-girls Catholic high school in St. Louis. She graduated from Rhodes College in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts in business administration. As an undergraduate, she aspired to become an anesthesiologist or certified public accountant before deciding to attend law school.

Crockett later explained that stated that she changed the course due to experiencing a series of hate crimes while attending college and subsequently being represented by the Cochran Law Firm. She attended the University of Houston Law Center, graduating in 2006 with a Juris Doctor. Crockett was a member of the National Bar Association, as well, with the Dallas Black Criminal Bar Association.

Crockett completed law school and passed the bar shortly thereafter in 2006. She then became a public defender for Bowie County and formed a law firm, which was notable for taking pro bono cases for Black Lives Matter activists.

Crockett is also a member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority.


In 2019, after Eric Johnson vacated his seat in the Texas House to serve as mayor of Dallas, a special election was held in November with a runoff in January 2020, for the remainder of his term, which Lorraine Birabil won. Crockett challenged Birabil in the 2020 Democratic primary. She narrowly defeated Birabil in a primary runoff, advancing to the November 2020 general election, which she won unopposed. She assumed office in January 2021.

In November 2021, incumbent U.S. representative Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas's 30th congressional district announced she would not seek reelection in 2022. However, after a few days, Crockett declared her candidacy for the seat, and Johnson simultaneously announced that she was backing Crockett.

In the Democratic primary election, Crockett and Jane Hope Hamilton, an aide to Marc Veasey, advanced to a runoff election, which Crockett won. She then won the general election in November. She was chosen to be the 118th Congress's freshman class representative.


Family and children:

Although Crockett, in the public forum, is a force to be reckoned with, she keeps her private life away from the prying eyes of the media. Information regarding Crockett's husband, marital status, or children is still undisclosed. The American attorney-turned-politician is presumably single and has chosen to share details only about her career.
