Two months into her Senate campaign, Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s team just got caught red-handed with one of the most embarrassing website disasters in recent political memory. The Texas Democrat’s campaign site was littered with amateur mistakes that would make a high school student cringe. CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere exposed the mess when he discovered placeholder text still sitting on her mental health policy page, reading: “Write out your bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works.” This isn’t a rough draft—this was live on her official campaign website.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Social media users quickly piled on, pointing out even more glaring errors across the site. Gun control talking points somehow ended up under the Social Security section. The highlighted text formatting made it appear as though her campaign was promoting “boosting opioid, substance abuse” instead of fighting it. These aren’t typos—they’re signs of a campaign operation that either doesn’t care about details or lacks the basic competence to launch a professional website.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Crockett’s Senate ambitions. With less than a month until the primary, voters are just now getting their first real look at her policy positions through her website. Instead of seeing a polished, professional operation ready for the big leagues, they’re witnessing what critics are calling a potential grift rather than a serious campaign. The rushed cleanup after getting called out publicly only reinforces the impression of a campaign caught unprepared.
This website fiasco raises fundamental questions about Crockett’s readiness for higher office and her campaign’s organizational capabilities. If her team can’t manage basic website maintenance and quality control, how can voters trust them to handle the complex demands of a Senate race, let alone governing? With primary day fast approaching, Crockett needs to prove this was an isolated incident rather than a preview of campaign chaos to come.
