This will be the second time Martin has run for the seat but faces Harris Co. Attorney Christian Menefee, who was endorsed by late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's daughter and serves as his campaign's chairwoman.

Menefee is backed by Erica Lee, late Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee's daughter, who is serving as his campaign chairwoman.

The city of Houston is mourning the loss of Congressman Sylvester Turner, a dedicated leader who spent decades shaping the community he called home.

After winning a special election to finish her late mother’s term in Congress, Erica Lee Carter, the daughter of Sheila Jackson Lee, will take the oath of office in Washington D.C. on Tuesday.

Jackson Lee’s children endorsed Sylvester Turner to succeed their mother, who also emphasized his commitment to continuing Jackson Lee’s legacy of service while providing stability during the transition.

Carter will run against two Republicans for her mother’s seat to hold for a few weeks before the winner of the general election takes over.
