Sheila Jackson Lee Vacancy Explained

The vacancy in Texas’s 18th Congressional District arose following the death of Representative Sheila Jackson Lee on July 19, 2024, and was further impacted by the subsequent passing of her successor, Sylvester Turner, on March 5, 2025.

Turner had won the general election on November 5, 2024, to serve the full term starting January 2025, while Jackson Lee’s daughter, Erica Lee Carter, won a special election to complete her mother’s unexpired term through January 2025.

As of April 1, 2025, Governor Greg Abbott has not yet called a special election to fill the current vacancy left by Turner’s death.

The delay may stem from logistical considerations, such as aligning the election with existing voting schedules to reduce costs and voter confusion, or political factors, including assessing the timing’s impact on party strategies, though Abbott has not publicly specified a reason.

Texas law grants the governor discretion in scheduling such elections, and he may be weighing these practical and strategic elements before issuing a proclamation.
