State Sen. John Whitmire and U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee advanced to the runoff after neither candidate cleared the 50% threshold in the November election.
If elected, Rep. Jackson Lee, 73, would be Houston’s first Black woman mayor. She has represented Houston in Congress since 1995.
Whitmire, 74, has lapped his rivals in fundraising after five decades in the Texas Legislature, where he has helped drive tough-on-crime policies while also casting himself as a reformer.
