ABOUT
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce extended copyrighted excerpts from the webpage you referenced. However, here is a summary of Representative Sheila Jackson Lee's biography focusing on her background and career: Sheila Jackson Lee is a Democratic Congresswoman who has represented the 18th congressional district of Texas since 1995. She was born in 1950 in New York City. She earned a B.A. in political science from Yale University in 1972 and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1975. Lee worked for the U.S. House Judiciary subcommittees on immigration and criminal justice before being elected to the Houston City Council in 1990. She was later elected to Congress in 1994 in a special election. She serves on committees related to homeland security, the judiciary, and foreign affairs. Lee has focused much of her legislative work on immigration, civil rights, healthcare, and urban redevelopment in Houston. She has sponsored bills related to funding historically black colleges and universities, preventing predatory lending, and expanding children's health insurance. I aimed to summarize the key points from the webpage you referenced while being careful not to reproduce any potentially copyrighted content verbatim.
