Executive summary

Available public records and the listed profiles show Jasmine Crockett is a former public defender and criminal defense attorney who campaigned on criminal-justice reform and has sponsored and co-sponsored legislation in Congress; however, the provided sources do not list specific roll-call votes on federal prosecutorial-reform bills or identify how she voted on named prosecutorial-reform measures (available sources do not mention specific roll-call votes on prosecutorial reform) [1] [2] [3].

1. Background: a prosecutor’s critic who became a lawmaker

Jasmine Crockett’s biography in her official House materials and media profiles emphasizes her roots as a Bowie County public defender and a state legislator who worked on criminal-justice issues, a resume she and her office point to when framing her congressional priorities on criminal-justice reform [1] [4]. That professional background is relevant because it explains why she positions herself as an active participant in debates about prosecution, incarceration, and reform rather than as a neutral procedural vote [1].

2. What her campaign and official sites emphasize about reform

Crockett’s campaign and congressional pages highlight criminal-justice reform among her key goals and note she “assembled a wide coalition to pass landmark criminal justice reforms” as a Texas state representative — language used to signal ideological alignment with reform advocates who favor reduced mass incarceration and more oversight of the criminal-justice system [1] [5]. Her official “Votes and Legislation” page exists for constituents to track her activity, but the provided snapshot does not enumerate individual prosecutorial-reform votes [2].

3. Congressional sponsorships and legislative activity — limited evidence in provided clip

Congress.gov and legislative-tracking results in the supplied set show Crockett as a sponsor of bills in the 119th Congress (for example, several bills in 2025 listed on Congress.gov), but the examples given are not labeled as prosecutorial-reform bills and the listed legislative actions are procedural (referrals, voice-vote reports) rather than substantive prosecutorial-policy roll calls [3]. The available Congress.gov snippets do not identify any specific national prosecutorial-reform measures that Crockett sponsored or how she voted on them [3].

4. Where roll-call vote records would normally appear — and what we have

Official House clerk and library profiles are the typical sources for roll-call votes and committee actions; the House Clerk’s profile for Crockett is among the provided items but the snippet does not include an itemized roll-call history for prosecutorial reform [6]. Third-party trackers (GovTrack, BillTrack50, VoteSmart) are listed in the materials but the supplied excerpts do not show named prosecutorial-reform votes or summaries of her votes on such bills [7] [8] [9].

5. Media coverage and issue framing — advocacy vs. recorded votes

Press coverage emphasizes Crockett’s rhetoric and priorities — for instance, The Guardian and local press discuss her advocacy for voting and civil-rights causes and her background as a public defender — but the supplied reporting excerpts do not document her votes on federal prosecutorial-reform legislation or offer contemporaneous vote tallies tied to her name [4] [10]. Thus the public narrative around her as a reformer exists, but direct vote evidence in these sources is missing.

6. Limitations of the available sources

The set of documents provided does not include roll-call vote lists, committee vote records, or news stories that report on how Crockett voted on specific prosecutorial-reform bills; therefore any definitive statement about her votes on particular prosecutorial-reform measures cannot be drawn from the supplied material (available sources do not mention specific roll-call votes on prosecutorial reform) [6] [3] [2].

7. How to get the factual vote record (next steps readers can take)

To answer the question definitively, consult the House Roll Call/Clerk’s vote database and Congress.gov bill pages for the exact legislation in question and find Crockett’s recorded yea/nay on those measures, or use nonpartisan trackers (GovTrack, Congress.gov, the House Clerk site) to pull her votes on named prosecutorial-reform bills referenced by bill number or title — items that are referenced in the sources but not expanded in the provided snippets [6] [3] [7].

Bottom line: Crockett’s background and public messaging mark her as a criminal-justice reform advocate, but the specific roll-call votes on prosecutorial-reform bills are not shown in the provided sources, so the materials here do not permit a citation-backed account of how she voted on those federal measures (available sources do not mention specific prosecutorial-reform roll-call votes) [1] [2].
