U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is joining the Houston mayoral race, scrambling the already crowded field.
Sheila Jackson Lee wants to come home to be your mayor for the city of Houston, Jackson Lee said at a church event Sunday. I will not be able to do it without each and every one of you.
Jackson Lee's comments were livestreamed by the church, City Cathedral Church, and shared Monday morning by Urban Reform, a Houston online publication.

I think she will good influence on the election...win or lose.

But there shouldn't be too large a gap before a special election and it's a safe seat.
