And everything she did, Sheila Jackson Lee worked with all her heart. As a member of the United State Senate and the Congressional Black Caucus, I had the honor to work directly with Sheila on many issues over the years and to observe firsthand her leadership. And she truly was a force of nature. When it came to her constituents, there was no task too big or too small for the Congresswoman. If it needed to be done, she made sure it was done and done right. When it came to crafting policy, there was no detail too minor or point of order too obscure. Very few people have loved the people of Houston more than Sheila Jackson e. In the community, she was ubiquitous and omnipresent. Whether it was the funerals and memorial services or the birthday parties or block parties. She celebrated with the people. She mourned with the people. She stood with the people always. As a champion for women's rights, she helped reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. As a fighter for LGBTQ rights, for support, helped repeal. Don't ask. Don't tell. As a lifelong advocate for our nation's children. She founded the Congressional Children's Caucus, and as a leader who believed deeply that America's true and full history must be acknowledged and honored. It was Shela Jackson Lee, whose bill made Juneteenth a federal holiday. Which as a United States Senator, I was proud to co sponsor. And then as as Vice president, it was my honor with the President with the President. It was my honor. It was my honor. With our President Joe Biden to stand beside Congresswoman. Sh Jackson Lee, as our president signed her bill into law. She Jackson Lee was a change maker. She worked with all her heart to lift up the people of her city of her state and of our nation, and to honor her memory, let us continue to fight to realize the promise of America a promise of freedom, opportunity, and justice, not just for some, but for all. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Harris Stresses Need to ‘Do Something Good’ With Power at Texas Congresswoman’s Memorial","description":"Kamala Harris took time from her 96-day campaign for President to eulogize Jackson Lee on Thursday.
