Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) is an institution in Houston — so much so that although the Houston area may have three female members of Congress, only Jackson Lee is commonly referred to as “the Congresswoman.”
Since she first defeated incumbent Rep. Craig Washington in the 1994 Democratic primary, Jackson Lee has been easily re-elected 14 times. However, on March 5, 2024 Jackson Lee faces her toughest re-election challenge ever from former City of Houston councilmember Amanda Edwards — a challenge that could end the storied congressional career of one of the 21 longest-serving current members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Jackson Lee’s congressional career began with her 26 percentage point (63 percent to 37 percent) victory over three-term Congressman Craig Washington in the 1994 Democratic primary in Texas’s 18th Congressional District. The district is ultra-safe Democratic. Between 1996 and 2020, the Democratic presidential candidate has won between 71 percent and 77 percent of the vote. The winner of the Democratic primary in this district is thus always a lock to win in November.

Her level of incompetence, race-baiting, ignorance, and cruelty to her staff, are legendary.
She’s all hair and scarf.
She’s a dim bulb but she’s a loudmouth black woman so gets more attention than she should.
And it’s even money her replacement will be ten times worse.
The machine is working hard to manufacture the votes.
She’s like one of those new lunar landers that landed upside down or on their side. Neil Armstrong’s flag on Mars must be totally embarrassed.
IOW she’s a shoe in for another term? Meanwhile in NV, I like Sam Brown but the Clark/Washoe county libgressives will likely put Rosen in again. The rest of the state? Meh!
She is dumber than a bucket of rocks, and so are her Gerrymandered constituents.
Houston will have another voting machine storage/warehouse fire, at any time.
I think everyone in Houston is sick of the grifting SJL, by now, though.
That's a huge problem.
NOBODY should be an elected politician for so long as to become an "institution" ...
[Neil Armstrong’s flag on Mars must be totally embarrassed.]
Hey, the Mars Pathfinder is so good it can find a flag on the Moon!! C’mon man!!
Mean distance between Mars and Earth’s Moon is about 249 million miles
For those in Rio Linda, mean distance is average distance
Sheila Jackson Lee only missed by 249 million miles. If you apply Common Core Math it was only inches
15 terms of Zero = Zero
LOL! And she still refuses to Cancel Culture Club her “Confederate” last name.
Sheila Jackson Lee has a carefully gerrymandered overwhelmingly democrat district so no Republican has a chance of beating her, but I would love to see her taken out in the democrat primary.
The is literally the stupidest congresscritter there is, and that is saying a lot.
but does her replacement know the difference between the Moon and Mars ?
“And it’s even money her replacement will be ten times worse.”
The replacement will be every bit as liberal as Jackson Lee - but hopefully not as dense and obnoxious.
It’s so sad to see Houston go for a person like Sheila Jackson Lee - a Maxine Waters level of brilliance and logic
But.....Democrat cities....
You would think that after 30 years, the voters would improve their IQs instead of trying to make decisions based on race.
Dumber than Hank “Capsize” Johnson?
