I live in #BarbaraJordan's district, #Texas' 18th Congressional district.
We've had excellent representation, including #MickeyLeland and #SheilaJacksonLee
#SylvesterTurner was not chosen by the voters, due to the late Congresswoman's death a year ago today, and the need to name a candidate before 15 Aug 2024. The chairs would rather the voters make the choice, and Mayor Turner vowed to serve one term. This prevented anyone from becoming an encumbent.

I'm proud to support #AmandaEdwards to be my next Congresswoman.
#TX18 has had amazing congresswomen representing us in #Washington. Women whose names are recognized both nationally, and internationally. #BarbaraJordan. #SheilaJacksonLee. Women who were /in/ the #community, and /of/ the community.
Those boots will be a challenge to fill. Amanda is up to the challenge. Whether serving in an elected position on the Houston City Council, or simply as a member of the community, If you or someone you know needs access to resources, Amanda is always an email or phone call away.
This is the kind of #representation we deserve.
When a friend of mine came off papers after a #felony conviction, and was struggling to find work, I sent an email to Amanda asking about resources. Because, although I've lived in the #Houston metro area for over thirty years, I've only lived in actual Houston for the last five. When my family was struggling, I looked to Harris County resources. Not only did Amanda reply to my ema, she gave me names and contact information for actual humans.
I'm not anyone particularly special... and that's kinda my point.

Sylvester Turner was born in 1954 and grew up in the Acres Homes area of northwest Houston. “Congressman Turner was the consummate public servant but to us, he was our beloved father, grandfather, sibling, and relative."

Do I have any Texas or Texas politics followers here? I'm wondering how Sheila Jackson Lee's seat gets filled. Pancreatic cancer again. Sigh. :( https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-sheila-jackson-lee-dies-030500628.html

Dear Rep. Jackson-Lee...
Its OK to be scientifically ignorant. But it's not OK to be scientifically ignorant, and stand before a crowd of students and make #unscientific assertions as if they were fact. And it's not OK to respond to people who point out the absurdity of your unscientific remarks with deflections and insults. You said something dumb. Just acknowledge it, correct it, and move on.

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee has reclaimed the Democratic mantle that she’s long held in Texas’ 18th Congressional District. She fended off a well-funded primary challenge by former Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards.

Jackson Lee has been one of Houston’s most high-profile representatives for several decades and typically has not had serious primary challengers. That will be different in 2024.

A Sheila Jackson Lee campaign ad that aired over the weekend on multiple Houston TV stations encouraged city residents to "vote on or before December 7th." But the mayoral runoff is Saturday (Dec. 9) and the early voting period ends Tuesday (Dec. 5).
