In an emerging scandal, a leftist representative from Texas is now under investigation after a conservative organization filed a complaint against her based on hundreds of thousands of dollars of suspicious donations funneled into her campaign via ActBlue, a key fundraising platform for the Democratic Party.
For context, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was the subject of a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on March 26, 2025, that came from the
Coolidge-Reagan Foundation, which is a conservative non-profit devoted to protecting free speech in America. At the core of this complaint was a 73-year-old Texas Resident named Randy Best, who, according to press accounts, unknowingly donated $595 to Crockett’s campaign.
According to The Daily Signal, the FEC notified the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation that it would notify Rep. Crockett regarding the complaint and would review the case. This information came in a letter to Dan Backer, a Washington-based lawyer representing the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation. Backer told the press, “The FEC opened an investigation. There is a process, but they are investigating.”
Continuing his response to the emerging scandal, Backer told The Daily Signal that it seems likely that Democrats like Crockett may try to avoid conviction, explaining, “It could be a reasonable defense for Rep. Crockett and other Democrats to say, ‘We didn’t solicit those donations, they all came in from ActBlue.’ But that would be willful blindness.”
Prior to the filing of the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation’s complaint against Rep. Crockett, conservative attorney Soldon Daniels contributed key information to the investigation when he went to the home of Crockett campaign donor Randy Best and asked his wife about her knowledge of Mr. Best’s campaign donations. In an X post from March 11, 2025, Daniels said, “They had no idea what their charges were.”
Continuing in his post on X, Daniels told his followers about the big-picture dubiousness of Crockett’s campaign donations, explaining, “Rep. Crockett, through her principal campaign committee, Respondent Jasmine for US, has received thousands of other donations through ActBlue totaling over $870,000. It is unclear how many of these are similarly fraudulent transactions, made in the name of unsuspecting innocent people who did not actually provide the funds.”
When Daniels’ video of his conversation with Randy Best’s wife was posted on X, conservatives took to the comments section to show their distaste for Rep. Crockett and ActBlue. One user with the handle Keith Ainsworth wrote, “Until someone goes to prison for doing this, they’re going to keep doing it. If we eliminate the election fraud and the campaign finance fraud, there won’t be a Democratic Party.”

Another X user weighed in on the scandal, writing, “She is very corrupt and should not be in office. She has an agenda that does not include what is good for the people she pretends to represent or our country as a whole,” with another adding about Daniels, “He seems absolutely more professional than she is.”
