Dear Friend:

It is an honor to represent the people of the 18th Congressional District of Texas in our nation's capital. The 18th Congressional District is one of the most dynamic, socio-economically and ethnically diverse, and interesting districts in the country.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my official website. This website serves as a virtual office. Here you can stay informed about what I am doing in Washington, access information about bills and legislative issues, learn about the services that are available to constituents of the 18th Congressional District, and keep in touch so that I may better serve you. I hope you will find this website useful and informative.

Sincerely,

Sheila Jackson Lee
