“Former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has won the Democratic nomination to replace the late Sheila Jackson Lee on the November ballot, following a two-and-a-half-hour selection process in the gymnasium of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.
“Six of the eight declared candidates to succeed Jackson Lee were formally nominated and seconded by participating precinct chairs. After each of the six addressed the crowd, the nearly 80 precinct chairs present voted by roll call.
“Turner emerged as the frontrunner with 35 votes, just ahead of former Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards at 34, but he fell short of the outright majority he needed to claim the nomination in the first round. Current City Council Member Letitia Plummer and State Representatives Jarvis Johnson and Christina Morales each registered in the single digits, while chef and businessman Robert Slater failed to get a single vote.
“Turner then polled 41 votes to Edwards’ 37 in the second round to claim the party’s nomination.”
