Race to fill Houston’s vacant District 18 seat narrows to two

Texas’ 18th Congressional District runoff will decide who finishes the late Rep. Sylvester Turner’s term, with Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards advancing in a race that required a runoff after neither won 50% in November. The results were provided by HarrisVotes, and voters will also cast ballots on March 3 in the primary for the next term, all amid ongoing map-related litigation that could affect the district’s long-term representation.
