Unsurprisingly, the AP declared Christian Menefee the winner of the all-Dem #TX18 special election. He'll *finally* replace Sylvester Turner, who died almost 11 months ago. Menefee will also have to face longtime Rep. Al Green in the Dem primary on March 3, thanks to the new GOP gerrymander.

Polls have just closed in Texas, which is hosting two special elections (yes, on a Saturday!): • The all-Dem runoff for #TX18, which has been vacant almost a year • The D vs. R runoff in #SD09, which the GOP is worried about losing even though Trump carried it 58-41 Our Big Board -->

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.

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

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
