URGENT UPDATE: Rep. Jasmine Crockett is under fire as new records unveil an outstanding lien on her Dallas condominium, raising serious concerns about her financial management. The Westside Condominium Association filed a lien on April 11, 2024, revealing that Crockett owes $3,047.79 in unpaid assessments.
The document states that the congresswoman “is in default in her obligation for payment of assessments” and has “failed and refused” to pay the owed amounts. This lien prevents Crockett from selling or transferring her property until the balance is settled, with the Dallas County Clerk’s Office confirming there is no record of the lien being released.
Crockett, who purchased the condo in 2014, is now facing intense scrutiny not only for her financial obligations but also for her recent campaign spending, which has raised eyebrows. Federal Election Commission filings show nearly $75,000 spent this year on luxury accommodations and transportation across major cities, despite representing a district centered in Dallas.
Among these expenses, Crockett’s campaign has billed thousands at high-end hotels, including the Ritz-Carlton and several resorts in Las Vegas and Martha’s Vineyard. Limousine services from various cities have also contributed to her campaign’s nearly $50,000 security expenditures this year. Such spending is particularly controversial given her previous support for the “defund the police” movement, where she argued for a smarter approach to crime.
Critics are quick to highlight the emerging pattern of controversies surrounding Crockett. “The more we learn about Jasmine Crockett, the clearer it is that she’s the worst possible candidate to run for Senate in Texas,” stated a longtime Democratic strategist. “Recent weeks have shown she’s just not ready for primetime.”
Crockett’s financial troubles come as she weighs a potential run against Sen. John Cornyn, with a decision expected by December 8, 2024. Cornyn, seeking a fifth term, faces a competitive primary challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.
As her political future hangs in the balance, the unresolved lien adds yet another complication for the rising Democratic figure already facing intense scrutiny statewide and nationally. With public interest mounting, all eyes are on Crockett as she navigates these mounting challenges.
