Additionally, Crockett’s campaign paid Chicago-based limousine service Transportation 4 U $2,728.00 for travel, as well as $2,310.30 to DCA Car LLC, a premium car and limousine service, and $1,254.00 to Bay Area Limousine.
In its client gallery on Yelp, Transportation 4 U, which says it specializes in providing "top-tier limousine experiences tailored to your needs," posted a picture of Crockett with the caption: "We were honored to provide transportation services for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett during her visit to Chicago." Crockett is pictured smiling and dressed casually in a red sweater.
In that same time frame, Crockett’s campaign also spent nearly $50,000 on security expenses despite repeatedly calling for defunding the police. In 2021, while Crockett was serving in the Texas House of Representatives, she said, "The Defund movement seeks to actually bring about healing and finally invest in our communities to make them safer, addressing the root causes of crime and by allowing the professionals to do their respective jobs. Defund is about finally being smart on crime. Defund is about lightening the load for our offices of all things they didn't sign up for. Defund is about finally being fiscally responsible when it comes to policing in this state."
Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett for comment on the expenses but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

"Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there – come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a-- mess, honey," Crockett said.
Crockett later said her statements were misinterpreted and that she was not mocking Abbott’s disability.
She said in a statement posted on X, "I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable."
This statement surfaced as Crockett was already facing heavy criticism for other recent statements calling for Elon Musk to be "taken down" and for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to be "knocked over the head, like hard."
In addition to that comment, Crockett recently came to the defense of Jay Jones, the Democratic Virginia Attorney General-elect who ignited a firestorm after his texts that privately fantasized about murdering a Republican lawmaker surfaced.

"And I was very excited to see that he was able to pull off the win. Not that I know him – I've never met him, I've never talked to him – but because it seems like people did not get caught up in the distractions," Crockett told host Roland Martin.
"Listen, there were still Democrats that were talking about it," she continued. "And my deal was, say what you got to say, denounce what he did, but in this moment, do you trust this Republican attorney general to stand up when it is the state legislature that decides that they need to fight fire with fire and give us more seats out of Virginia to go to the U.S. House because they're trying to balance out this power struggle that Trump is on?"
