Jasmine has never been afraid to speak truth to power, fight for our communities, and stand up for Texans who deserve better. Im grateful to have her support in this fight to lower costs, protect our rights, and deliver real leadership for Texas.”

“Shes tough. She speaks truth to power. Shes fearless in the face of vitriolic attacks from Donald Trump and the far right. She works day in and day out to protect our fundamental rights and strengthen our democracy. Shes a colleague, and shes a friend. Her name is Jasmine Crockett. And Im incredibly proud to be endorsing her in Texas U.S. Senate race,” he noted on Substack.
