Late Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee to be namesake of Bush Airport terminal

Houston City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to rename Terminal E after Jackson Lee, the Democrat who represented parts of Houston in the U.S. House of Representatives for nearly three decades after serving on the city council for five years. She died in office in July 2024.

The naming won’t take effect immediately due to an executive order dating back to 2003. Erica Lee Carter said the move represents “a lasting reminder of her dedication, her legacy, and her unwavering commitment to Houston and the United States.”
