Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Running For Mayor Of Houston
Jackson Lee enters a crowded field to replace Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who is retiring from the position due to term limits. Turner has been one of the most high-profile Black mayors in the country, connecting with celebrities such as Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion and 50 Cent and leading the city at a time when Black politicians were in charge of many of the largest cities in the country. Jackson Lee will likely benefit from Houston voters who want to see the city remain under strong Black leadership, while her progressive stances may create challenges for winning over less liberal constituents. Jackson Lee faces a tough race in the heavily Democratic city. At least six other candidates are currently running for the position of Mayor of Houston, including State Senator John Whitmire.
Houston’s mayoral election will be held on Nov. 7.
