- Sheila Jackson Lee repostedCongratulations to my former colleague, Congresswoman @BarbaraLee_CA on your victorious win as Mayor-elect of Oakland. I know if my mother, Sheila Jackson Lee, were still with us, she’d be in Oakland standing by your side as you’re sworn in. Congratulations again, my friend.Oakland! This evening’s results are encouraging. I decided to run for Mayor knowing that Oakland is a deeply divided City–and I ran to unite our community. We worked hard every day to earn every vote!
