Erica Lee Carter

As I step forward to serve the unexpired term left by my mother, I recognize the profound responsibility that comes with this role. It’s not just about filling a seat; it’s about honoring a legacy of leadership, empowerment, and community service that she exemplified.

Congrats to Erica Lee Carter on her appointment as Harris County Administrator by Commissioners Court. She brings deep government experience and a strong commitment to transparency, efficiency, and effective services for all Harris County communities. ow.ly/88mn50Yekps

@HCP4__Briones Thank you Commissioner! @HCP4__Briones

See my statement on the appointment of Erica Lee Carter as our new Harris County Administrator.

As the next Harris County Administrator, Our government should be responsive to every resident. And, I look forward to strengthening county operations, leading a transparent budget process, and ensuring we deliver effective government services to all communities.

Rep-elect Christian Menefee will make 214 for House Democrats. Speaker Johnson needs to swear him in immediately. Looking forward to working together on behalf of the American people.

As former Congresswoman for TX-18, I know the power of our community’s voice. Let’s continue the legacy of Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland, Sheila Jackson Lee & Sylvester Turner. I’m proud to endorse Christian Menefee (#9 on the ballot) for Congress! Election Day: Nov 4 @CDMenefee

Opinion | The Houston Chronicle editorial board endorses the talented Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee to serve in the city's historically Black congressional seat. houstonchronicle.com/opinion/endors…

When @CDMenefee announced his candidacy for the same seat that my late mother, Sheila Jackson Lee, myself, and Turner have proudly served, TX18— I was honored to endorse him. Chronicle’s endorsement affirms what we already know: he is the kind of effective leader we need in DC.

Following speculation and a July statement from @EricaSLeeCarter that if @LinaHidalgoTX did not seek reelection, she'd consider entering the race, Carter confirms she is not entering the Democratic primary for Harris County judge

My late mother, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, always said: "In times like these, we must think bigger and consider something greater than ourselves." That’s why I’ve decided not to enter the 2026 Democratic Primary for Harris County Judge.

Today’s message is clear: because of the people of Texas' 18th Congressional District, we are one of the most historic districts in the United States. 🇺🇸 Now is the time to elect @CDMenefee and be empowered to send a representative who will continue that legacy in Congress.

I made history replacing my mother, Rep. @JacksonLeeTX18 , in Congress. My successor was the late Congressman Turner. We proudly represented Texas' 18th District. Now more than ever, we need strong representation in Washington. We deserve a voice. This is why I support @CDMenefee

We're only one month away from the voter registration deadline for the November special election, and early voting starts NEXT MONTH. Now is a good time to check your voter registration status: loom.ly/NkDdh1c

We are not handing over our communities for partisan advantage. If “they thought this would be the end of us,” as my mother said, they're sorely mistaken. We will fight legally, politically, and publicly to protect Texas’ 18th and the voices of Black and brown Houstonians."

I testified before the Texas Senate Special Redistricting Committee. I spoke not only on behalf of myself and my family, but also for the constituents of the 18th Congressional District whom I was honored to represent in Congress from and for my mother, Sheila Jackson Lee.
