Texas Democrat Senate hopeful Jasmine Crockett recently rolled out a long-overdue policy section on her campaign website, and unfortunately for her, it only raised more questions about how prepared her campaign really is.
The update was meant to showcase her agenda and accomplishments, but instead it exposed some pretty basic errors. In one section focused on mental health, visitors could still see internal instructions meant for staff, including a note that literally said, “Write out your bullet points here,” followed by guidance explaining that “anything from a sentence to a paragraph works.” That kind of mistake doesn’t inspire much confidence, especially from a campaign asking voters to trust it with serious policy decisions.
That wasn’t the only problem people noticed. Under the heading of “common sense gun reform,” the site listed Crockett’s co-sponsorship of legislation related to Social Security reform an entirely different issue. Whether this was carelessness or rushed work, it reinforced the impression of a campaign struggling with organization and message discipline.
To make matters worse, someone claiming to be an administrator for the campaign website jumped in online to explain why the content had been thrown together so poorly, which only drew more attention to the missteps instead of calming concerns.
With early voting starting in just 10 days and the primary set for March 3, Crockett doesn’t have much time to regroup. In a race where Democrats are already coalescing around candidates like James Talarico, these kinds of unforced errors can be costly. Voters expect clarity, competence, and seriousness—especially from someone seeking a Senate seat—and right now, this rollout suggests her campaign still has a lot of work to do.
