U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett is leaning heavily into a message of endurance and visibility as she promotes her campaign for the Senate.

She is telling supporters she is outworking every rival while balancing congressional duties in Washington and nonstop travel across Texas.

In an Instagram post shared with the caption, “While others talk about the job, I’m doing it,” Crockett highlighted what she described as an aggressive campaign schedule under the banner of her #TexasToughTour.

The post, published on her verified account @jasmineforus, was accompanied by a video detailing days of near-continuous travel, public appearances, and meetings with voters and local leaders.

“There is no other candidate that will outwork me, and those are just the facts,” Crockett said in the video, explaining that she continues campaigning even while Congress remains in session and the federal government faces the prospect of a shutdown.

Balancing Congress and the Campaign Trail

Crockett said she reports to work in Washington, D.C., whenever the House is in session and returns immediately to Texas when legislative schedules allow. She framed that dual presence as evidence of her qualifications and commitment, arguing that voters already know her record at the federal level.

“We did over 17 stops in two days,” she said, noting that the pace left her without sleep. “I made the decision to run for office, so I can’t say I’m too tired to do the job.”

The congresswoman pointed to what she described as an unprecedented number of lawmakers leaving public office, citing difficulties navigating today’s political environment. She contrasted those departures with her own willingness to stay engaged in both policy battles in Washington and voter outreach at home.

Campaigning Amid Political Uncertainty

She said that even when not required to be in the capital, she prioritizes face-to-face engagement with constituents.

“If I don’t have to be in D.C., I am right here on the ground talking to the people,” she said, describing late-night events, club appearances, and roundtable discussions with local leaders in Houston, followed by additional stops in East Texas and Dallas.

A Central Campaign Message

The post reinforces a central theme of Crockett’s campaign: stamina, presence, and direct voter engagement. Ending the video, she tied her demanding schedule directly to electoral success.

“I will work,” Crockett said. “That is what will matter, and that’s what will make the difference. And that is how I’m going to win.”

As the Texas Senate race continues to take shape, Crockett’s messaging suggests she intends to make visibility and work ethic defining contrasts between herself and her opponents.
