#1 The congresswoman’s campaign also had to deal with fallout from the release in October of an unverified audio recording that purported to capture her profanely berating staff.

#5 S J Lee has represented the district since 1995.

Sadly, she will likely represent the district for at least several more years. She is currently 73 years old. Her only path to 'promotion' is getting a cabinet job after some vacancies open in the Biden Admin.

#8 Whitmire is white. So obviously this is because of racism.

#9 He also plans on dealing with crime, so he may not be quite as horrible. Still a democrat but GLAD I don't live IN Houston.

#10 Only way this happens is some of Houston's black voters vote for Whitmire or don't vote at all.

#11 a Texas lawmaker who has represented the city for 50 years

He's had two(2) generations of working for the benefit of Houston. What did he do?

#12 Whitmire will have a difficult time reducing crime even with his best effort.

However, somewhat surprisingly, Houston has made considerable progress reducing homelessness. Enough success so a lot of city officials outside of Texas have made a visit to Houston to discuss it. We are not talking about solving the problem but reducing it significantly, about 10-20% depending on how you measure it.
