Sheila Jackson Lee’s record includes:

• Sponsoring legislation that she said “answers the concerns” of radical anti-police protesters calling for the defunding of police departments, adding: “What I hear when they say defund, they want reprogrammed dollars."

• Campaigning for and enthusiastically supporting Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who ran on a platform of “redirecting money away from policing.”

• Sponsoring legislation alongside radical “squad” politician Ilhan Omar to weaponize the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute law enforcement officers.

• Tweeting “How much longer will we have to wait for responsible legislation to address the bad behavior that occurs in bad policing.”

• Defending the City of Philadelphia after it cut its police budget by $33 million, saying that ‘defund police’ had been ‘misinterpreted’ and instead called it “reimagining,” which “means you fund housing, education, and policing…”
