Houston’s 18th District runoff tests Democrats' generational balance

A Houston runoff for Texas’s 18th Congressional District pits Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee (37) against former City Councilmember Amanda Edwards (44) to fill a seat left empty by Sylvester Turner’s death. The winner will only hold the incumbency briefly before facing longtime Rep. Al Green in a March primary, with lines redrawn by recent redistricting creating overlapping voter bases. The race has become a focal point in Democratic debates over age, experience, and renewal amid GOP redistricting and Abbott delays, reflecting a national struggle over how to balance new leadership with established figures.

Houston Braces for Widespread Ice as Winter Storm Takes Shape

Forecasts indicate a wintry mix will bring widespread ice to the Houston area Sunday, with about 0.1–0.25 inch of ice inland and up to 0.1 inch near the coast, as temperatures dip below freezing tonight and again Sunday night; there’s a chance of sleet and even thundersleet, and travel should be limited as roads may be hazardous. Some inland areas may briefly rise above freezing Sunday afternoon, but temperatures fall back Sunday night into a very cold Monday. A very cold start is expected Monday, with sunny skies helping but icing risk lingering inland; another Arctic front could arrive next weekend. An update is expected later tonight.
