WASHINGTON —
Dozens of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' colleagues showed their support Tuesday by making sure she has enough money if she seeks political office again.

The Democratic lawmakers attended a campaign fundraiser on Giffords' behalf and voiced confidence that the Arizonan would return to Congress. In the meantime, as Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida said, they wanted to demonstrate that "we have her back."

"We're going to make sure that when she does come back, she has the resources she needs to hit the ground running," said Wasserman Schultz, one of three Democrats serving as chairmen for the fundraiser.

"As much as we would like it to be otherwise, this is necessary," Larson said. "This is a labor of love for someone who is dearly loved."
