We here at Bayou Beat News definitely send our well wishes for a speedy recovery to our own beloved Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The congresswoman has been one of the most fierce figures in the forefront of the battle against the virus as the pandemic swept across the world.
When the pandemic struck, she was one of Houston’s most visible leaders, organizing food drives, COVID testing sites and vaccination centers, and making sure residents were provided with whatever resources they needed to stay afloat during these trying times.
But if anyone knows our congresswoman, she is definitely not going to let anything stop her from leading and winning.
Statement: Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee tested positive for COVID. She is fully vaccinated and has received her boosters. She encourages everyone to get tested and fully vaccinated along with their booster shots. She looks forward to a full and complete recovery.
