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.

And ….is there any chance that the moon would tip over with all these new landings?
Seriesly.....she has to be the dumbest Congresscritter ever to step foot in DC.
She is a legend in the Airline industry for her behavior on board, it is not nice.
“...but does her replacement know the difference between the Moon and Mars ?”
She can’t be worse and a lot better to look at.
Never challenge "worse". Maybe her incompetence, idiocy, and ignorance are better than a savvy, smart, well-schooled replacement.
I hear NASA is looking for black female astronauts.
I nominate her as navigator for Artemis.
:-)
I have heard from a few stories that she is a nutcase to airlines.
