The seat remains vacant until a "special election" is called for by Gov. Abbott. If does so 36 days before the 1st Saturday in May it will be that day. If not it will be the 1st Tuesday after a Monday in November. The 36 day rule applies to that date as well. In a "midnight" blue district of Houston. But who knows what other relics of that area [THEY] will pull out of their ____.
I removed my double post, but this is significant. Will add what I wrote here:
Exceptionally corrupt former Houston mayor, who had assumed office in the House of Representatives 2 months ago, died hours after last night’s address.
He ran a huge port city. He likely had close ties to cartels.
This guy doesn’t get discussed nearly as much as say, Eric Adams or Karen Bass, but he just happened to die 2 months after moving into a federal position - to replace Sheila Jackson Lee who had been tied to Presidential Security during the Butler events shortly before dying herself.
He was then elected in November 2024 and took office in January 2025.[7] He served on the Homeland Security Committee and the Science, Space, & Technology Committee.[8] Turner died on March 5, 2025, just 61 days after taking office.
During his 1991 campaign for Houston mayor, Wayne Dolcefino of KTRK-TV ran an investigative report questioning Turner's involvement in an elaborate insurance fraud scam. The resulting scandal ultimately cost Turner the election. Turner sued Dolcefino and KTRK and was initially awarded a $5.5 million libel settlement that was reduced to $3.25 million by the presiding judge. KTRK appealed the ruling. The Texas Supreme Court overturned the money award based on heightened legal protections that the First Amendment affords to the media. However, the court found that both of these specific broadcasts were both false and defamatory.
When Turner's eight year tenure as mayor ended on January 1, 2024, the city was in a dire financial state.[28] The city was spending $100 to $200 million more than what it was bringing in each year.
Turner asked the police to start enforcing an ordinance that bans sharing food with homeless people in the city of Houston.
Definitely natural causes and not military tribunals.
He replaced Shiela Jackson Lee and only served 62 days in his term. https://thenationalpulse.com/2025/03/05/breaking-rep-turner-dies-just-62-days-into-his-congressional-term/

Both representatives supposedly were cancer.
Had cancer. Had. Slip of the pen. Sorry, all.
Democrat. Maybe it will take 3 months to replace him.
But wait there's more.... ....his Social Security checks will still be sent for the next 100 years.
WOW
