Dallas U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett — a rising star within the Democratic Party — is jumping into the crowded race for her party’s top post on the House Oversight Committee.
The position is vacant after U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat, died late last month. Three other Democrats have already declared bids for the June 24 election: Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts and Kweisi Mfume of Maryland.
