HOUSTON — Vice President Kamala Harris will return to the Houston area Thursday to attend the funeral service of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.

This will be the vice president’s third trip to the Lone Star State in the last month.

Funeral services will take place on Thursday at Fallbrook Church in Houston, starting at 11 a.m. According to the congresswoman’s office, pre-registration might be necessary for this service.

Jackson Lee passed away on July 19 at the age of 74.

After Jackson Lee passed, Harris called her “a tenacious advocate for justice and a tireless fighter for the people of Houston and the people of America.”

Vice President Harris visited Houston’s Emergency Operations Center on Wednesday to receive a briefing on the recovery efforts after Hurricane Beryl. On Thursday she spoke at the American Federation of Teachers’ 88th national convention.

With a career spanning almost 30 years, many notable political figures are expected to attend the former congresswoman's funeral service.

President Joe Biden will travel to Houston on Monday to pay his respects, according to a statement from the White House.
