Honoring Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Hi Friend, I’m Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and it’s been my honor to represent Texas’ 18th Congressional District and the great city of Houston for 27 years. Four years of our former, disgraced President and his lies sent shockwaves across our nation. All across the country, and especially…

One year ago today

Friend, One year ago today, we witnessed one of the darkest days in the history of our democracy. My heart goes out to the families of the Capitol Police officers who lost their lives and to the Capitol staff who experienced the attack, doing everything they could to stay safe. On that day, vio…

Hey Friend, Remember sometime back in March or April, when I first emailed you about some scary anti-voter developments in Texas? To be honest, Friend, to me, that feels like several lifetimes ago at this point. This year, month after month, in anti-Texan session after anti-Texan session, our T…

Friend, One of my favorite rituals that I come back to every year, right around this time, is to sit down and do some quiet reflection. I ask myself: What were the highlights of this past year? What were the toughest moments, and the moments where I learned the most? Most importantly, what am…

Friend, Today marks the official first day of winter, meaning the coldest days of the year are just around the corner. And after the devastation that Texans faced this February, I’m worried that another winter storm could be on the horizon. The Farmers' Almanac, which predicted this year’s storm…

Hi Friend, With the March 1st Democratic primary election quickly approaching, we’re launching our 2022 vote-by-mail program. As you know, the 2020 Election taught us all how important mail-in voting options are to our elections, and just how many people cast their ballot by mail. That means it’…

the worst kind of scary
