Sheila Jackson Lee Repeatedly Says She Voted to Provide Sandy Hook Funding

EXCERPT:

JACKSON LEE: "Well, let me be very clear. I voted on many votes for Sandy Hook funding. I voted on the main legislation for Sandy Hook funding. And so I think it’s important to focus on what was offensively done, and here, in Houston and Harris County and the State of Texas, we’re going to be on the offensive in introducing an aid package to make sure we have the funding for what is needed. I am asking all of those who are impacted, all of our departments, first responders, police, firefighters, state operations, to provide the medical help that is being so effectively given. St. Joseph’s Hospital, all of those resources, we hope to put in an aid package and get the vote going forward."
