My Take
Sheila Jackson Lee represents a vanishing kind of public servant to me. A Queens native and Yale graduate, she held Texas's 18th district from 1995 until her death in 2024, carrying central Houston's voice to Washington for nearly three decades. Her background as a lawyer and judge gave her words a weight rooted in real legal understanding. What moves me most is that she served until the very end, never stepping away from the work. In an age of cynicism toward politics, a representative who commits fully to her community deserves genuine respect, and she clearly did.
