"Rep. Jackson Lee's Political Future Uncertain After Mayoral Defeat, Files for Reelection"

Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who recently lost a mayoral runoff election in Houston, has filed for re-election to serve a 16th term as a congresswoman. Jackson Lee, who has held the seat since 1995, lost the mayoral race by a wide margin and was involved in a controversy where she berated her staff using profane language. She will face a competitive primary election against fellow Democrat Amanda Edwards, who holds a significant fundraising advantage.
