Jasmine Crockett Hit With Ethics Complaint Over Failure To Disclose Stock Holdings

Jasmine Crockett Faces Ethics Complaint for Undisclosed Stock Holdings

Representative Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) is under scrutiny for possibly violating the Ethics in Government Act by failing to disclose her ownership of stock in at least 25 companies on her congressional financial disclosures. This allegation comes from a complaint obtained by the Washington Free Beacon and filed by a nonpartisan watchdog group.

Background on Stock Holdings

As a Texas state legislator in 2021, Crockett reported holding a significant portfolio that included stakes in 28 firms across industries such as pharmaceuticals, fossil fuels, technology, automobiles, and marijuana.

Discrepancies in Congressional Disclosures

Despite her prior disclosures at the state level, Crockett omitted 25 of these stocks from her 2021 congressional financial filings. Some of the companies she failed to report stood to benefit from legislation she introduced while serving in Congress.

Ethics Complaint and Implications

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT) filed the formal complaint with the Office of Congressional Conduct, expressing concern that Crockett’s incomplete disclosures may breach the Ethics in Government Act. This law mandates full transparency, and violators who knowingly submit false financial information risk imprisonment.

"When Members of Congress fail to accurately and fully disclose their financial interests, it undermines the integrity of our government and erodes the public’s trust," said Kendra Arnold, FACT's executive director.

Summary

Jasmine Crockett’s undisclosed stock holdings have triggered a formal ethics complaint, highlighting critical concerns about transparency and legal compliance among public officials.
