Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is running to be the next mayor of Houston. The Democrat primary is a hotly contested race between Jackson Lee and state Senator John Whitmire. Jackson Lee hosted an event featuring her old pal Hillary Clinton Friday in Houston.
Hillary endorsed SJL for mayor, which is no surprise, given they are both longtime Washington, D.C. Democrats who are part of the status quo. She has been a loyal Clintonite since Bill’s days in the Oval Office. So loyal that SJL endorsed Hillary over Barack Obama in 2008 during the Democrat primary.
I endorse and proudly support my friend, @SJacksonLee, to be the next mayor of Houston.
Her relentless efforts in Congress prove she has the experience and vision to lead Houston into the future.
She’s always been a fierce champion for her constituents, and I have no doubt… pic.twitter.com/49qRNtDEpm

Hillary brushed aside concern over SJL’s latest controversy – her profanity-filled conversation with a staffer who failed to live up to her expectations. SJL has a reputation as a horrible boss and is consistently voted the worst boss on Capitol Hill by those who work there. Hillary said it shows she’ll be a strong leader, or something.
Following the leak of an alleged recording that rattled Jackson Lee’s campaign, several female political and community leaders spoke up for the congresswoman at a rally Friday morning in Southwest Houston.
