Longtime Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) filed for reelection just two days after a stinging electoral loss in Houston's mayoral race and before the 6 p.m. deadline on Monday to file.
Jackson Lee lost the mayoral runoff election on Saturday to another longtime Texas politician, Democratic state Sen. John Whitmire, who will helm the nation's fourth-largest city. The race had gone to a runoff after the pair of candidates advanced from the November all-party primary.

Was there ever any doubt? She has a high paying, graft receiving , no show job and she can put her lazy children on the payroll. Plus she gets to scream at her employees as if she were insane.

Heaven forbid that she might have to find employment in the (gasp!) private sector!

The only "standard" SJL has is to be the first in front of a camera and to stay there the longest.

Texas, time to give her the same treatment. If she doesn't qualify to be a mayor she certainly should not be in Congress. She has no useful skills to get a job in the real world so she decides to screw us for the next two years. She is a dunce, kick her to the curb. OMG, I find it hard to believe that there is not someone in TX who couldn't do a better job.

Sadly, the voting public over there is even more uninformed/stupid/ beyond help than she has ever been. She WILL be reelected, and NOTHING will change for those folks in her district. They haven't learned since they sent this idiot to DC around 1995. She keeps getting richer, and they keep getting scammed. Oh, well. They apparently like it that way.

Her family likely encouraged her to run. Their livelihoods were at stake.

These gangsters will do ANYTHING to avoid getting a real job where they have to produce goods and services that normal people actually want or need. Of all the rackets, politics is the best racket.

I want dat powah!
Let's see how popular Whitmire is in a few months when he faces the distasteful task of handling Houston's newest population of thousands of illegal immigrants. SJL would simply have ignored the problem and spent her time begging for money from the Biden admin like Adams did.

If she has been in office since 1995, her retirement $$ should be over the moon.

The elusive "Houston Homing Ape," seen frequently in Washington DC, but rarely in its place of origin. Known to seek out cameras and microphones, where it is seen preying upon gullible and naive journalists. The Ape maintains a steady diet of Greenbacks obtained through "handouts," as well as through other, less clear, means. The Ape is known to have a vile and filthy mouth, which it uses acerbically at staff regarding living conditions, transportation, and overall support. On a cautionary note, if seen in the wild, avoid contact at all cost. If interaction is unavoidable, DO NOT make eye-contact however, proudly display any and all "MAGA" outerwear to make it uncomfortable by fearing accountability. Once contact with the Ape is broken, immediately check to ensure that all valuables still reside on your person and that personal bank account balances have not suspiciously decreased.
