Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-Texas) died late Tuesday after serving just two months and a day in Congress, party officials said Wednesday. He was 70.
Turner, who was elected in 2024 to replace longtime Houston-area Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee following her death while in office, had attended President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress the night of his passing.
“We were on the floor together last night. You never know for whom the bell will toll next,” Rep. Al Green (D-Texas), who was ejected from the House chamber for repeatedly disrupting Trump’s remarks.

Was death slightly off target? 🤔

A cause of death was not immediately available.
Sheila Jackson Lee’s old district...............
He had been treated for bone cancer...................
Somewhere he said he was cancer free....
Somewhere he said he was cancer free.... Turner said in 2022 that he had secretly been recovering from bone cancer. Last summer, as he was seeking the nomination for Jackson Lee's seat, Turner said he was now cancer-free.
After last night all I have to say is “ that’s one down and ???? to go

Looks like he was wrong..............
Or lied for the government perks
Well. Bye.
One less EVIL vote. Helps the slim margin the GOP has.
In the case of Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death, the process for replacing him will follow these guidelines. As of now, the exact steps and timeline for the special election have not been detailed, but the governor will likely call for a special election to fill the vacant seat.
The specific details of the upcoming special election and the candidates who will run will be determined by local and state authorities in Texas.
At least he got to hear the speech. I do not know if he was getting ready to convert to the GOP but, may the Lord have mercy on his soul.
He can kill with a word!
HE IS THE KWISATZ HADERACH!!!

Sometimes that is a fleeting state. I read the Whipple Survivor group on Facebook. There is an unsettling pattern for people who have ampullary cancer fixed by a Whipple. Nominally two years "disease free", then a sudden recurrence kills them in around 6 weeks. I'm 8 months into the countdown. A chat with grok3 evaluating my details says 33% to 38% for 5 year survival unless a recurrence happens. Then you get under 12 months.
It's sad to see another person lose the battle.
Perhaps Greg Abbott can appoint a Representative more in line with Trumps policies.
No such thing as cancer free. Reason cancer occurs is because body has lost ability to recognize cancer cells as non-normal. Surgery, radiation, chemo can stop cancer temporarily. Given enough time, cancer will always come back.
The real bad part is all cancer treatments also kill normal cells and weakens the body. Therefore enjoy everyday we are blessed with health. We are all here temporarily. Even Soros will die regardless of how much wealth he has.
