He barely outlasted SJL
I'm incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of @SylvesterTurner last night. He was a dear friend and an incredible lifelong public servant who will be forever remembered for his service to our communities , our city, our state and our Country.

I know he was not the best guy but dancing on his grave will get you nowhere in heaven
So who's the next half-wit to slip into that district?
Wow wasn't he in the audience at the state of the union? Condolences to his family.
Personally I thought Pelosi looked like she had one foot in the grave last night.

But, joking aside, my first guess would be She-Jack's daughter.

I guess the requirements are:
1.) be crooked
2.) be awful to your staff
3.) be crooked
4.) get on tv
5.) default in student loans
she didn't run for the spot last time (just finished her mom's term)CDUB98 said:Knowing the district, probably a quarter-wit.DrEvazanPhD said:

I'd think the front runner is Amanda Edwards
haven't seen any houston news websites/twitter confirm the death at this point
If it was a Republican congressman who died..... Democrats on Reddit and Bluesky would be cheering.
But we are not ghouls.
T&P to the congressman's family.

For the life of me I just don't get it. Her district is so blue that party loses absolutely nothing if she hangs it up.Artimus Gordon said:

She has five kids and nine grandkids and more money than they'll ever know what to do with. For the love of God go enjoy, with family, whatever time you have left on this rock.
And yes, Nan looked drunk and close to the end.
Because those who love money and power never have enough. It is their god, and they will pursue their false idol all the way to their death.Quote:

Well the district didn't pick him in the first place.Boomer#85 said:

I would give my thoughts on the subject but I don't want a lifetime ban.
I guess I had missed the fact that he replaced SJL as a congressman after he was no longer mayor
For a district that you know is doing to be blue, I think she'd be a great choice. But she kept getting shafted by her supposed one-time mentor. I'm running for mayor. What SJL is running for mayor? OK, I'll run for Congress. What SJL lost the mayors race and is now running for Congress again?BMX Bandit said:she didn't run for the spot last time (just finished her mom's term)CDUB98 said:Knowing the district, probably a quarter-wit.DrEvazanPhD said:

And yes, I can find nothing online about Sylvester's death other than this thread.
Ummm, pretty sure he won the seat over the Republican this past election.Ryan the Temp said:Well the district didn't pick him in the first place.Boomer#85 said:

he means there was no primary vote that turner won. SJL died after the primary, so he was voted on by party leaders to fill her spot on the general ticket.
Nothing on the news he died yet
The Houston area produces some crazy legislators...
I don't wish any ill will for those that died of cancer. Horrible. I still disagreed with most of their political stances as they never really accomplished what they were supposed to do. SJL and Green's districts are the same today, for the most part, as they were when they took them over.

I would imagine the Devil is putting that one off as long as possible, hell he doesn't want her around either.
Her family probably wants her to keep at it too, to keep the money flowing and keep her away from the house.
a guy who works in logistics for my corporation also died last night in his 50s from a sudden heart attackTheEternalOptimist said:

life is short!
She worth upwards to $95 million. Salary of 200K or so. I'd like to know what she's invested in so that I could get that type of return year in/year out.Jack Squat 83 said:Urban Ag said:For the life of me I just don't get it.
