The 18th district has only been represented by a Republican for 7 years since it's creation in 1919. The 18th was Barbara Jordan's district during her historic election to and service in the U.S. House of Representatives.blackdog8200 wrote:Gentrification, the only way we will get the CONGRESSWOMAAAAAAN....and the crown weave out.SF18C wrote:The 18th Congressional District...Google it!
gerrymandering, the only way this village idiot could be elected to anything!
Ms. Lee is a Yale grad, and earned her J.D. from U.Va . She served as a municipal judge and as a Houston City council member, in which body she championed a safety ordinance that required parents to keep their guns away from children.
Hopes were raised when in 2010 she only won re-election by a 70-30 margin, her lowest vote total ever. Those hopes were dashed when she returned to form and a 75-25 margin to return to congress in 2012.
As an observer residing in the neighboring 2nd District, I posit that Ms. Lee will continue to win re-election until she succumbs to some form of senile dementia and perhaps, given her performance over the years, may continue to win even after such, when no one is able to tell the difference.
