OK, I give up. Why aren’t the Republicans even running a candidate against this nut? Totally black district?

I’m not totally familiar with Houston area Congressional districts but I think it is a safe conclusion that the demographics of Jackson-Lee’s district are decidedly in favor of her incumbency. It is likely that a Republican has two chances in that district, slim and none — and slim just left town.

Been tried before. A black liberal is the only one who can get elected in that gerry mandered district. Queen Sheila has a job for life if she wants it.

The district was gerrymandered to allow Sheila a congressional seat in perpetuity. After all, it’s not like her supporters vote strictly along racial lines...

I don’t know the census make up but I think this is one of the minority set aside districts in Texas.
