KHOU 11 reported the following.
HOUSTON — The race for Houston mayor got more interesting after U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee announced she intends to run.
Her announcement came Sunday during a church service at City Cathedral Church in the Bellaire area.
“I hope I’ve been a humble servant for you for 28 years … Sheila Jackson Lee wants to come home to be your mayor for the city of Houston,” Jackson Lee said during the service. “I will not be able to do it without each and every one of you.”
Jackson Lee enters an already crowded field that aims to replace the term-limited Mayor Sylvester Turner during this November’s election.
So now there are two political veterans, Sheila Jackson Lee and John Whitmire. More importantly, two young and upcoming candidates, Amanda Edwards and Chris Hollings would inject new progressive blood into the city. It is something that is needed in a city that has been run by the good-ol-boy network far too long.
