(Houston, Texas) “The Houston City Council made a powerful statement by passing the vote to rename Terminal E at Bush Airport in honor of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. As someone who had the privilege of knowing her and witnessing her tireless dedication to our city, I am thrilled to see this recognition of her legacy.
For nearly three decades, Congresswoman Jackson Lee worked relentlessly to secure over $125 million in federal funding for IAH and improve the travel experience for millions. This renaming is a fitting tribute to a leader who never stopped fighting for the people of Houston.
I want to thank Houston City Councilmembers Ed Pollard and Tiffany Thomas for their leadership on this effort. This honor is well deserved, and I am proud to stand with all Houstonians in supporting this tribute to Congresswoman Jackson Lee’s legacy.”
