While I appreciate the bill that could help us I'm curious how she becomes
one of the hardest workers from that article. It doesn't really mention
anything one way or the other. From the govtrack.us website (copied exactly,
their highlights not mine):

Jackson-Lee is a *far-left Democrat* according to GovTrack's own analysis of
bill sponsorship <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/spectrum.xpd>
.

Jackson-Lee is a *follower*. Jackson-Lee tends to cosponsors the bills of
other Members of Congress who do not cosponsor Jackson-Lee’s own bills. For
more, see congressional statistics<http://www.govtrack.us/congress/repstats.xpd>

.

Sheila Jackson-Lee has sponsored 199 bills since Jan 4, 1995. of which 194
haven't made it out of committee and 1 were successfully enacted.
Jackson-Lee has co-sponsored 3197 bills during the same time period.
