Eddie Bernice Johnson

The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-documented.

I'm not the only one who feels the sting of continually losing.

This was the first time a woman in Dallas had won public office of any kind - even women questioned whether or not I was qualified, whether or not I could take it.

I don't believe it's productive to go around and badmouth anyone that I work with, because at the end of the day, we all have to sit in front of each other and agree or disagree.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I don't like to get in front of people.
