| Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's Campaign Disbursed Nearly $10K For Super Bowl Tickets |
| 2017-05-21 |
| [Free Beacon] The campaign of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee disbursed nearly $10,000 of its funds for Super Bowl LI tickets, according to Federal Election Commission filings. This year's Super Bowl between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots, which took place on Feb. 5, was held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Jackson Lee represents Texas's 18th Congressional District, which includes most of the central Houston area. The congresswoman's campaign committee is shown to have made two separate transactions pertaining to Super Bowl tickets days before and after the event. On Feb. 3, just two days before the Super Bowl, Jackson Lee's campaign committee paid $4,900 to 21st Century Fox, Government Relations for ’Super Bowl LI Tickets,' according to the filings. On Feb. 8, three days after the Super Bowl, Gerald Womack, the congresswoman's campaign manager, was reimbursed $4,900 for Super Bowl tickets, filings show. |

| #3 donations have limits and purposes. It's a little too quid pro quo |

| #2 I'm confused: if the campaign paid $4,900, then was reimbursed $4,900, didn't it pay a net of zero? |
