Democrat John Whitmire elected Houston mayor, defeating congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee HOUSTON – Houston elected Democratic state Sen. John Whitmire as its next mayor on Saturday night, elevating a Texas lawmaker who has represented the city for 50 years by giving him a victory over U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in a runoff.

His campaign focused on reducing crime, improving streets and bringing people together. He heavily outspent Jackson Lee, who was running to become Houston's first Black female mayor. The congresswoman's campaign also had to deal with fallout from the release in October of an unverified audio recording that purported to capture her profanely berating staff.
