How often has jasmine crockett broken with progressive caucus votes since taking office?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Available sources identify Rep. Jasmine Crockett as a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and describe several instances where her votes or positions have frustrated some progressives — especially on Israel/Palestine — but none of the provided materials quantify “how often” she has broken with the Progressive Caucus on votes (no numerical count of deviations is in the sources) [1] [2] [3]. Sources document criticism from progressive and Palestinian-rights groups for certain Israel-related votes and record that Crockett has supported some pro‑Israel measures; they do not provide a complete roll‑call comparison between her votes and an official Progressive Caucus position tally [1] [2] [3].
1. What the sources actually say about Crockett’s alignment with progressives
Multiple profiles and news pieces identify Crockett as a “progressive” and note her membership or leadership roles tied to progressive groups — for example, campaign endorsements from progressive organizations and her vice‑chair role of a Progressive Caucus in Texas or membership in the Congressional Progressive Caucus [2] [4] [5]. Those same sources also recount occasions when progressive activists and advocacy organizations publicly criticized her for specific votes, notably on Israel‑Palestine aid measures during the Israel–Hamas war [1] [2].
2. Criticisms cited: Israel–Palestine votes and advocacy pushback
Reporting and profiles emphasize that Crockett’s votes on Israel‑Palestine issues drew sharp criticism from some progressive and Palestinian‑rights organizations, who give her low marks on issue scorecards and urged a ceasefire in Gaza — language that implies she diverged from those groups’ expectations even while remaining formally within the Progressive Caucus [1] [2]. Those criticisms are documented, but the sources do not enumerate each roll‑call where she disagreed with progressive caucus majorities [1] [2].
3. What the sources do not provide: a vote‑by‑vote break rate
None of the supplied links — including Crockett’s official bio, biographical profiles, GovTrack or Congress.gov snapshots, and news coverage of her Senate campaign — include a tally or percentage of times she voted against an agreed Progressive Caucus position or the caucus majority [6] [7] [4] [8]. For the specific numeric answer you asked for (“How often has Jasmine Crockett broken with progressive caucus votes since taking office?”), available sources do not mention a concrete count or rate of such deviations (p1_s1–[1]4).
4. Related data available in the packet: voting attendance and legislative activity
GovTrack’s profile gives roll‑call attendance and general legislative metrics — e.g., missed votes and sponsorship statistics — but it does not map Crockett’s votes against the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s official positions [7] [9]. Congress.gov lists bills she has sponsored but again contains no partisan‑caucus comparison [6]. Vote scorecards and targeted issue trackers (eg, Palestinian‑rights org scorecards) are referenced in reporting but are not included here as detailed vote comparisons [1] [2].
5. Competing perspectives and implicit agendas in the coverage
Mainline profiles (Texas Tribune, POLITICO) frame Crockett as a rising and outspoken progressive with high visibility, while opinion pieces (USA Today column) present her as emblematic of a leftward turn in the Democratic Party and argue she is electorally weak in Texas — that opinion piece explicitly critiques her progressive posture [10] [8] [3]. Progressive advocacy groups criticizing her Israel‑related votes are positioned as holding the caucus to more hardline standards; reporting suggests Crockett has at times prioritized other legislative judgments or broader caucus strategy over those advocacy demands [1] [2]. Those differing framings reflect editorial and political agendas: news profiles report activity and conflict; opinion columns use her record to argue broader partisan points [10] [8] [3].
6. How to get the exact figure you asked for
To produce the precise number or percentage of times Crockett “broke with progressive caucus votes” requires (a) a defined list of votes the Congressional Progressive Caucus formally endorsed or recorded as its position, and (b) a roll‑call comparison of Crockett’s votes against that list. The supplied sources do not include either the caucus’ official vote log or a systematic roll‑call comparison. Sources you could consult (not in this packet) would be: Progressive Caucus public position statements or whip memos and a roll‑call database (Congress.gov roll call, GovTrack, or a dedicated vote‑matching tool) to compute deviations. In the current reporting packet, that computation is not present [6] [7] [9].
Limitations: I relied only on the provided sources; they document notable instances of disagreement and public criticism but contain no comprehensive deviation tally (p1_s1–[1]4). If you want, I can: (A) outline the exact data and methodology needed to compute the deviation rate, or (B) attempt to compile a vote‑by‑vote comparison if you provide or authorize additional roll‑call datasets or Progressive Caucus position records.
