This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Rep. Jasmine Crockett is widely described in recent reporting as a progressive, aligned with the “Squad,” and a vocal anti‑Trump figure, but the available sources in this packet do not present a clear, sourced list of specific roll‑call votes where she diverged from the Congressional Progressive Caucus or explain whether committee assignments influenced any such divergences (not found in current reporting) [1] [2]. News coverage focuses instead on her 2025 Senate bid, political style, and intra‑party reactions rather than itemized vote breakages or committee‑driven dissent [3] [2].
1. What reporting actually documents: campaign drama, not a vote ledger
Mainstream pieces here (New York Times, Axios, KERA, Dallas News) chronicle Crockett’s 2025 Senate announcement, her national profile as a progressive firebrand, and reactions from Democrats and Republicans — not a catalogue of specific votes that depart from the Congressional Progressive Caucus [2] [3] [1] [4]. Those stories emphasize tone, strategy and political consequences of her Senate run rather than legislative divergences [3] [2].
2. Where sources describe her ideology and alliances
Several outlets characterize Crockett as aligned with AOC and the “Squad” and as a bold, left‑of‑center voice; conservative outlets use that framing to argue she’ll be too partisan for statewide Texas politics [1] [5]. Those ideological descriptors explain why observers might expect her to vote with the Progressive Caucus, but the sources do not document exceptions [1] [5].
3. Vote records and roll‑call data are not in these items
Authoritative data sites referenced in the search results (GovTrack, Ballotpedia, VoteSmart/JustFacts) appear in the results list, but the specific search snippets provided do not include a parsed list of votes showing Crockett breaking with the Progressive Caucus [6] [7] [8] [9]. If you want explicit instances, those databases are the likely next stop; current reporting here does not supply them [6] [8].
4. Committee assignments mentioned, but causal link not made
Some results note committee seats and subcommittee roles for Crockett (Judiciary subcommittee on Oversight; Oversight & Government Reform interest) and that she sought a ranking member post in 2025, losing the internal vote [10]. Coverage links her committee ambitions to intra‑House politics, but none of the articles in this packet assert that committee issues caused her to break with progressive colleagues on particular roll calls [10] [3]. Available sources do not mention committee assignments as the cause of vote divergences.
5. Party reaction and internal friction are well documented
Multiple outlets report anger or concern among House Democrats over her Senate bid and political style — with anonymous colleagues and strategists warning she could alienate swing voters and hurt Democratic prospects in Texas — indicating friction within the caucus but not that she voted differently on specific measures [3] [11]. Some conservative outlets and commentators frame her as recklessly partisan; others note her strength attacking Trump [12] [5].
6. What this set of sources leaves unanswered
This packet does not provide: (a) a list of roll‑call votes where Crockett explicitly voted against the Congressional Progressive Caucus position; (b) analysis tying any such divergences to committee jurisdictional fights; or (c) Progressive Caucus statements identifying her as a dissenter on particular bills (not found in current reporting) [6] [7] [8]. For that granular work you must consult the roll‑call archives at Congress.gov, GovTrack, or VoteSmart and compare her votes to Progressive Caucus position memos.
7. How to get a definitive answer (next steps)
To resolve your original question authoritatively: pull Crockett’s roll‑call votes from GovTrack or Congress.gov for the period you care about and compile instances where the Progressive Caucus issued a public position; cross‑check with Progressive Caucus press releases and the caucus’ voting guidance for each vote; and review committee hearing transcripts and press coverage for statements tying committee battles to voting decisions. The items in this search set point you to GovTrack, Ballotpedia and VoteSmart as likely data sources but do not themselves document the divergences [6] [7] [8].
Limitations: reporting in the provided results concentrates on Crockett’s Senate bid, public persona and intra‑party controversy rather than detailed roll‑call comparisons, so claims about vote divergence or committee causation cannot be supported from these sources alone [3] [2].
