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

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?!

This is a breaking story. RedState will provide further updates as they become available.

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

He’s her brother-in-law. His brother passed away years ago when he was married to that wench Kathy.

SheJack the hippowhatamous. I would say a dumber woman never lived but there is just way too much competition for that title.

0ba⋔a's preacher (Jeremiah Wright: "G*d-d**n the USA") was explicitly anti-middle class.

I endorsed her.
That may have lead to the loss.
I’m sorry.

So they supposedly get a democRAT who isn’t as bad as another democRAT. Who knows, the new guy might be worse that Jackass Lee. We saw the same thing happen when Hochul replaced Cuomo.

It’s the crime I tell ya.....Shreeker Jackass Sleeze would encourage discord and crime. I’m not saying Whitmire is a saint but I think the crime will be dealt with better with him.

I hear the straight-A Yalie’s calling foul.....wants a recount.......snx.

The bad news for Americans is that she lost the election, so she is still in the House, helping Marxists ruin America.
