I testified before the Texas Senate Special Redistricting Committee. I spoke not only on behalf of myself and my family, but also for the constituents of the 18th Congressional District whom I was honored to represent in Congress from and for my mother, Sheila Jackson Lee.

Congratulations to my former colleague, Congresswoman @BarbaraLee_CA on your victorious win as Mayor-elect of Oakland. I know if my mother, Sheila Jackson Lee, were still with us, she’d be in Oakland standing by your side as you’re sworn in. Congratulations again, my friend.

Six years ago, @CoryBooker gave my mom her flowers, and she gave him his for being a dynamic leader in the Senate. I know she’s watching from heaven, so proud as he makes history and causes good trouble. The Late Congresswoman Jackson Lee would’ve been right there by his side.

My mother, the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee would be proud of @CoryBooker! If she was here, she would be watching him get in #GoodTrouble and make History! @JacksonLeeTX18

Joy-Ann Reid and the late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee shared a powerful bond rooted in their fight for civil rights, justice, and democracy. Whenever Jackson Lee appeared on The ReidOut, their conversations crackled with urgency and purpose.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was not only the Congresswoman for the 18th Congressional District, she was a Congresswoman for everyone no matter their background.

I was honored to fight many battles with her throughout my time as a state representative and as mayor.

Today we celebrate her birthday and the last impact she had on our lives. In her memory, we will continue the fight to make our congressional district, our nation, and our world a better place for all.

#HappyBirthday Congresswoman! 🎉🎉
