Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee says she plans to run for Houston mayor (nbcnews.com)

Quote:
Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said Sunday that she plans to run for mayor of Houston later this year, shaking up an already crowded race.

Jackson Lee announced her decision to run for mayor while speaking City Cathedral Church in Houston on Sunday, which the Houston Chronicle first reported. She's served in the House since 1995 and before that sat on Houston's city council.

"I hope I've been a humble servant for you for 28 years. Many of you are in my district," the longtime congresswoman said, according to video of her remarks. "Sheila Jackson Lee wants to come home to be your mayor for the city of Houston. I will not be able to do it without each and every one of you."

Jackson Lee's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The current mayor, Sylvester Turner, cannot run for re-election due to term limits.

Jackson Lee, could still run for re-election to Congress if she loses the mayor's race in November. But if she wins, her victory would open up a deeply Democratic district, which includes Houston and parts of the surrounding area.
I can't wait to listen to Michael Berry's show this evening.

She sees the level of grift that Dem presidents, governors, and mayors get and wants a piece of the action.

Houston's only hope is Whitmire. He is a pretty moderate democrat that has the backing of Tillman, Mattress Mack, and several prominent GOP members that were backing Mealer.

Michael B covered this a few weeks ago on his show. I thought it might be a reach but I guess he was right. He said Turner wants someone to cover for all his deals. So he will support her. I believe he also said Turner would run for her position and she'd support him.

He also pointed out that in Houston city limits she will likely win.

Turner is widely expected to endorse Whitmire.

She can't support Turner as she has groomed her dumbass daughter to take that seat when she left it.

Is there anything that would prevent her from serving as both mayor and representative at the same time? With her hubris, I could see her thinking she could do that. And with her supporters, I could see them agreeing.

She would make Lori Lightfoot look like the Rudy Guiliani of Chicago! She a derailed train into a chemical plant bad and would take Houston down further.

In the last twelve months, City of Houston has managed:

- Multiple boil water notices
- No yard waste collection from December - February
- An international airport whose main terminal was often inaccessible to vehicle traffic

Bunch of ****ing idiots top to bottom.

She is a literal walking evil disaster.

Cursed she is for her EVIL policy advocation.

One of the absolute worst people ever in Congress.

I don't believe she can legally hold two elected offices at the same time. If she won mayoral race, she'd be forced to resign congressional seat.

How is it that someone as stupid as her hasn't slipped up and gotten caught on the dole? It seems like it wouldn't be very hard.

Her constituency is also one of the dumbest and least educated in the city of Houston, and that is saying something.
