BREAKING: Sheila Jackson Lee Loses Race for Houston Mayor. It Wasn't Even Close and Reactions Are Great

We have good and bad news to report. 

First, the good news for the people of Houston, Texas.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was running to become mayor of Houston. But she found herself in a difficult race with the powerful state Sen. John Whitmire, also a Democrat. She got the endorsement of Hillary Clinton, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). 

But even with those heavy hitters coming out for her, she still lost. Badly. 

Houston held the run-off election on Saturday, and Whitmire just completely trounced Jackson Lee by almost 30 points. 

Houston, we dodged a problem!

Whitmire stressed reducing crime, so he immediately had a leg up on the progressive Jackson Lee. 

Plus, she also did herself in with a couple of different controversies, including a profanity-laden video that was released, showing her cursing out and berating her staffers. 

Warning for graphic language: 

Sheila Jackson Lee — endorsed by Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries — just lost the election for mayor of Houston in a landslide https://t.co/GahbavixyI— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) December 10, 2023

Not exactly the person you want to put in charge of a major city. 

Then on top of that, the election was scheduled for Dec. 9, but she put out a video encouraging people to come out and vote on the wrong date-- Dec.7. Not only would that potentially confuse voters, but it shows what kind of a leader she would be for the city if she can't even get such a basic thing right on an ad that is presumably heavily vetted. 

Given this loss, one has to fear for the staffers, I think it isn't going to be a good night for them. 

But how great that the people of Houston aren't going to have to deal with her. 

Now, the bad news. She still has until Monday to file to run again for her House seat. So now that she lost, I would expect her to file. 

Only one question remains: Are they sure she lost? I mean, did they count the votes cast on Dec. 7 yet?!

On the campaign trail did she quote Armstrong saying, “Houston, we’ve landed on Mars.”?

[PGR88]

Does she kiss her momma with that mouth?

What a tiny turnout for such a large city

Why hasn’t she been arrested ?

This new mayor is the brother of former liberal Mayor Kathy Whitmire.

I am so relieved! 😅

One of the things that helped sink her was the recently released audio of her cussing out a staff member and mentioning another one who died shortly after. Autopsy has not been released.

She has been voted “worst person in congress to work for” repeatedly.

“Straight-A Yale grad Sheila Jackson Lee lost the mayoral race by almost 30 points.”

Man, that looks good in print.

“Does she kiss her momma with that mouth?”

It is said that her breath will knock a buzzard off its feet.

Sh&t a&& and f@@k face. Who are they?

What professional speaks this way?

[joshua c]

[Bikkuri]

This time around, it wouldn't surprise me if she said something along the lines of, "I've seen Uranus"...

She would fit right in over there 😁

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Singing “Ding Ding the Bitch is Politically Dead”.

May she rot in Hell the rest of her miserable, anti-America life.

My understanding of the race is that Sheila’s Congressional District is very diverse, while that’s not the case for the entire City of Houston, which is only about 22% black, with boatloads of Hispanics, Asians, and even whites. Hence she had to run in a race with voters much less ‘friendly’ to her.

Whitmire will be worse.

Well wait and see.....Whitmire is pro law enforcement and ran on crime that’s out of control. Stay tuned
