 Longtime Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas has died. Jackson Lee, who represented her district for nearly 30 years, died in Houston last night surrounded by family. She announced she had pancreatic cancer in June. Family, friends, and colleagues are remembering her as a fierce champion of the people and a tireless advocate for social and economic justice. Most recently, she helped rewrite the Violence Against Women Act, and she's led efforts to get Juneteenth declared a national holiday.
