I forget what took down her predecessor, Craig Washington. Craig Washington's claim to fame was that he rarely showed up for work. While that is a good thing for us, it doesn't look good on the resume.
I don't recall if he lost the primary to Queen Shiela or just decided to bow out.
Bumpin this baby up- it would be a shame to miss this stripping down of an arrogant socialist elite.
Thanks for the info. on Craig Washington. Regarding how Sheila ascended to her throne, post #71: I just checked the TX Secretary of State Elections site -- she easily won her 1994 RAT primary against him:
U. S. Representative District 18
Sheila Jackson Lee DEM 26,672 63.42%
Craig A. Washington(I) DEM 15,381 36.57%
