Cecilia and I will always remember Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.

She was a proud Texan and a tireless advocate for the people of Houston.

Her legacy of community service and dedication to Texas will live on.

Please join us in praying for her family and loved ones.

Rest in peace my friend. You were tough, principled, and gracious. As a black woman in Texas, you conducted yourself in a way that commanded respect amidst the racism and misogyny you faced. I don’t think people realize how hard you worked every day. Your determination and tenacity. 1/2 https://t.co/yII2dvTCcc
