Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee lost the Houston mayoral race against
challenger John Whitmire.
Jackson Lee, 73, was endorsed by Hillary Clinton, but this failed to
garner enough support to win the race.
Houston Mayor-elect John Whitmire said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is a
“bully” after winning the election. (Trending: US State Unveils

“People want to go to work for me because we respect people. We don’t
bully people,” Whitmire said.
“My family taught me to treat people the way you want to be treated, and
that works wherever you are, regardless of what community you’re visiting
with. Treat these individuals like you want to be treated.”
With support from the fire department, police unions, and a sizable
campaign fund, Whitmire emphasized increased policing to make the city
safer.
In October, leaked audio surfaced of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee using
extremely foul and abusive language while berating a staffer.
“When I called Jerome, he only sits up there like a fat [expletive], just
talking about what the [expletive] he doesn’t know. Both of y’all are
[expletive]-ups… This is the worst [expletive] that I could’ve ever had
put together. Two [expletive] big [expletive] children. [Expletive]
idiots. Serve no [expletive] purpose,” Jackson lee said in an angry voice
in one part of the recording.
The race highlighted divisions within the Democratic Party on addressing
local crime.
Whitmire, a long-serving lawmaker, prioritized local concerns like crime
and infrastructure.
Jackson Lee, a 15-term congresswoman, emphasized women’s access to
abortion and portrayed her opponent as a Trump-style Republican.
“Great cities solve their problems,” Whitemire said after the victory. “We
will face challenges, but I see that as an opportunity, and I need you to
join hands with me. We’ll, meet our challenges, and it’ll be an
opportunity to show the nation what the city of Houston could do.”
“I’ve had a great opportunity to serve this city, and yes, I was there
during every disaster bringing federal dollars here,” she said. ” I never
ran away from the fight to make Houston better. Even though the outcome
was not the way we would have wanted. The best thing for us to do is to
shore up and stand up and be committed to Houston moving forward. That’s
what I will do.”
