Introduced

Summary

Honoring Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's long record of public service and advocacy. The resolution would acknowledge her life and career, noting she was born in Queens, earned an undergraduate degree at Yale and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law, served as a municipal judge and Houston city council member, and represented Texas's 18th District in the House from 1994 for nearly three decades. It highlights her work securing federal disaster relief for Houston, her leadership in making Juneteenth a federal holiday, and that she lay in state in the rotunda of Houston City Hall.
