HOPE Members are saddened by the loss of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.

For decades, she fought for justice in our city, our state, and our country.

We are grateful for the time we did have together and she will be missed.

Delighted to meet with the working men and women of the city of Houston, who every day dedicate themselves to serving the people of this great city. They deserve respect and the best quality of life. As mayor, I see them and they will see me. Together we will fight for and achieve good pay with pay raises for the hours and hours they are out serving Houston and building a city that works for everyone. Standing with the members of HOPE AFSCME Local 123!
