HOUSTON – Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has always been a hands-on leader for the people of Houston, but these days, she can be seen front and center at community events and press conferences, leading the charge in demanding more testing in the fight against COVID-19.
Due to the lack of resources, Jackson Lee is making sure testing is free, and available for everyone.
On March 19, we opened one of the first testing sites in the nation that required no charge and no pre-registration, in a public/private partnership with UMMC United Memorial Medical Center,” Jackson Lee said.
“I was proud to bring Hyundai Motor America to the 18th Congressional District to donate $100,000 from Hyundai Hope on Wheels for COVID-19 drive-thru testing and 10,000 test kits for the City of Houston.
Over the Mother’s Day weekend, Jackson Lee helped lead the #IDIDMYPART campaign, on behalf of Tina Knowles and Beyonce’s BEYGOOD Foundation, encouraging Houston residents, especially African American communities, to get COVID-19 testing.
