Six years ago, Cory Booker 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.

Congratulations to my former colleague, Congresswoman Barbara Lee 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.

I’m honored to join President Joe Biden in Galveston today, where it all began, to celebrate the resilience of Black Americans. Juneteenth is now a time to reflect, celebrate, and continue the fight for justice. Thank you, Mom, for your unwavering dedication your legacy lives on.

President @joebiden praised Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee for her tireless work year after year, consistently filing the bill to make Juneteenth a national holiday, and for her success in 2021 when she finally brought it to his desk for approval. #Juneteenth

From a reliable source: If County Judge Lina Hidalgo decides not to run for re-election, then former Congresswoman Erica Lee Carter would consider entering the race. I've been told that she's taking steps to prepare should the seat become open. #Houston #news

I am keeping the families affected by the catastrophic flooding in Texas in my heartfelt prayers. As a educator and former Congresswoman, I am truly heartbroken to see children missing and communities suffering through such devastating events. Let us come together as Texans!

“I had about 200 kids — scared, cold, and terrified. Probably the worst day of their lives.” Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin shares how he helped save 165 people during the devastating Texas floods at Camp Mystic.

Today, I want to make it clear: If Judge Lina Hidalgo chooses not to run for re-election, I, Erica Lee Carter, will be running for Harris County Judge. This community means everything to me, and I’m ready to step up and lead on the issues that matter most to Harris County.

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.

We are not handing over our communities for partisan advantage. If “they thought this would be the end of us,” as my mother said, they're sorely mistaken. We will fight legally, politically, and publicly to protect Texas’ 18th and the voices of Black and brown Houstonians."
