Pastor Robert Jeffress, who was elected pastor of First Baptist Dallas in August of 2007, spoke downtown as firefighters continued to fight the fire, and said he had been baptized and ordained as a minister in that very church. “I had just left the church a little bit after 6 p.m. when we got word that the church was on fire, our historic sanctuary,” Jeffress said, emotional. The building has been around since 1890, Jeffress said, and was the home of the church before they moved into a new center about 12 years ago.

While she was in college, she met the man who would become her husband, Elwyn Lee, in 1973. He took a job at the University of Houston as a law professor and that led the New Yorkers to travel to Houston. However, while in Houston, Jackson Lee had political aspirations and attempted to run for judgeships in Houston, but was unsuccessful three times. Then in the late 80s, Jackson Lee was appointed to a municipal judge seat by then-Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire. However, after receiving that position, Jackson Lee had bigger political aspirations and ran for a seat on the Houston City Council in 1989, which she won. She later set her sights on the 18th Congressional District in 1994 where she defeated Congressman Craig Washington.
