| Description | Voting for Texas' party primaries is underway. In Houston and its northern suburbs, Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is fighting to keep the seat she's held for nearly three decades. The 74-year-old's main challenger is Amanda Edwards, a former Houston City Council member in her forties. The race in Texas' 18th Congressional District is surprisingly close.

But ask Hudson, Darden, and Fields how they plan to vote in the congressional primary, and they sound uncertain about their choices.
"I have an idea," Hudson said. "But I haven't had a chance to really talk to the other candidate."
Darden said she hadn't made up her mind yet. "Sheila's been in a long time," Darden said. "And she did a good job while she was in there. But maybe with all the confusion going on in politics, maybe Amanda will be a good person to vote for."
Fields initially said she supported Sheila Jackson Lee, "but I'm looking at maybe new blood. I haven't made up my mind. Not yet." |
