No, she won’t. She isn’t leading in a single poll. Houston is more diverse than her district.

It won't. Her poor staff treatment is already a very open secret.

She will still have full support from her constituents and get elected mayor

No she won’t. Once the herd is culled and it’s down to a SJL v Whitmire contest, she loses.

Highlights from a UH Hobby School of Public Affairs October 2023 survey (via ABC News):
quote:

:: 43% of likely voters indicate they would never vote for Jackson Lee, compared to 15% who say they would never vote for Whitmire.

:: 51% of likely voters hold an unfavorable opinion of Jackson Lee (41% very unfavorable), compared to 24% who hold an unfavorable opinion of Whitmire (13% very unfavorable).

:: Whitmire's runoff vote intention among men is 29% points greater than that of Jackson Lee, 57% to 28%. The two are effectively tied among women, 42% to 43%, respectively.

:: Whitmire holds a substantial advantage over Jackson Lee among white likely voters -- 69% to 18% -- and among Latino likely voters -- 55% to 26% -- in a runoff election.

:: Jackson Lee has a substantial advantage over Whitmire among Black likely voters -- 68% to 19% -- in a runoff election.

:: Jackson Lee is the favored candidate among Democrats in a runoff, with a 59% to 29% advantage in vote intention over Whitmire.

:: Whitmire is the favored candidate among Republicans in a runoff, with an 82% to 1% advantage in vote intention over Jackson Lee.

:: Whitmire is the favored candidate of Independents in a runoff, with a 62% to 15% advantage over Jackson Lee.

What was wrong with all that? She was riding herd on some schmuck who didn't have his shite together. Politics is serious frickin' business.

You want to be disgusted by something? Well be disgusted at the piece of shite who recorded what should've been a private conversation.

It's who she's always been.

SJL talks on phone WHILE being addressed to @ town hall meeting


Vile, low intelligence, angry and filled with entitlement.

That's who this bitch is.

Fk that.

Politicians don't deserve private lives anymore.

I hope the people closest to them start betraying them in any and every way imaginable.

Not new info at all… she is habitually named the worst boss in DC and numerous articles have been written about it.

Survey fromThe Washingtonian:

Jackson Lee again named 'meanest' Congress member Houston Chronicle link

quote:

If you pay attention to local politics long enough, you'll no doubt hear the phrase: "I've never heard of a camera that Sheila Jackson Lee didn't love."

Still, it's likely the Democratic representative isn't enjoying this kind of spotlight: The Washingtonian has again awarded Jackson Lee, D-Houston, the position of meanest Congress member among Democrats.

The "award" is part of the magazine's biennial survey "The Best & Worst of Congress." The survey allows congressional employees to anonymously rate their bosses on the Hill.

For Jackson Lee, it's not the first time she's won the "meanest" title. These wins might have something to do with this: An analysis done by they Houston Chronicle in 2011 revealed the congresswoman had the highest turnover among staff in the Houston delegation over the past decade.

Former Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey spoke to several former aides to Jackson Lee who all spoke of her erratic and abusive behavior in the workplace.

Her pet name for at least one staffer was “stupid bitch” per a newspaper article.

I like how her term for everyone else is derogatory but she is to be addressed as congresswoman.

Ask airlines running between DC and Houston what they feel about her.

Continental used to get the worst of it while they were still around.


Bitch will show up and demand a first class seat when none is to be found, threatening government harassment of the airline, until they bump someone out of a first class seat they paid for to accommodate her.

I’ve been on several flights with her, Cruz and Sly. Lee and Sly should be banned from flying with the public considering how irritating them and their entourages are.
