I am thinking today of my friend, the great Reverend Jesse Jackson, a dear friend who has always stood up for those in need.
Please keep him and his family in heart as he continues to fight his condition today in the hospital.
He has always stood up for people, and I will always stand with him.

Last week, Commissioners Court passed on considering a new revenue rate.
Trump and Abbott have tied the county's hands so they can undercut our services.
We must do everything we can this budget season to ensure our budget reflects the values and needs of the people of Harris County.
