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.

Some burdens need to set down.
In November, #SylvesterTurner was chosen to represen #TX 18th District after #SheilaJacksonLee lost her battle with cancer (#FuckCancer) last summer.
There was only one Sheila, and there was also only one Sylvester Turner. Although his time in #Washington was short, his last official act would have made Sheila proud. He introduced one of his constituents who is being harmed by #DOGE and made it about her struggle.
He was working till the end. I wouldn't be surprised if he asked to return home to pass the torch to a younger, angrier, generation.
I say that because Sylvester Turner was never a quitter. He did understand, however, the importance of new ideas. As mayor Houston, he wanted to make the city safer by moving away from car-centric thinking.
Rest in power.

My brother works at a restaurant in the Galleria area of #Houston — he commutes by #bike #bikeHouston from the 3rdWard
Former Mayor #SylvesterTurner stopped by & my bro thanked Turner for making his commute safer. Current mayor JW is trying to undo that good work unfortunately
ST installed tons of safe bike lanes and bike infrastructure all around Houston, ushering in better transit for bike folks & walkers
He’s excited to see ST’s next chapter, maybe in Congress #TX18
