2025 U.S. TEXAS CONGRESSMEN

Below is a list of the current United States Congressmen from Texas, including their name, district, phone number, email contact form, website link, and committees they serve on. All information is accurate as of March 31, 2025.

Current Vacancy Status for Sheila Jackson Lee

As of March 31, 2025, Texas’s 18th Congressional District, covering much of inner-city Houston, is without a representative. This vacancy occurred after Representative Sylvester Turner passed away on March 5, 2025, following a brief illness. The district has faced recent leadership transitions, with Turner succeeding the late Sheila Jackson Lee, who died in 2024.

Election Process

Governor Greg Abbott has the authority to call a special election to fill the vacancy, but as of now, no date has been set.

The next uniform election is scheduled for May 3, 2025, which would require a call by early April for inclusion, yet no announcement has been made.

Some speculate this delay could be strategic, given the district’s strong Democratic lean and the Republican majority in the House, potentially affecting legislative balance.

Unexpected Detail: Potential Candidates

An interesting aspect is the potential candidates emerging, with Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Houston City Council member Tarsha Jackson mentioned as possible contenders, reflecting the district’s community leadership focus.
