He was Mayor of Houston from 2016-2024.

They will blame this on Trump somehow.

Sylvester Turner was a solid mayor for a D. RIP.
Was he perfect? No. But Houston did relatively well after Harvey and compare Houston with say Atlanta during the 2020 summer.

Then Texas needs to do what NY is doing with Stephanik's seat and wait until November to do the election.

I expect Sheila Jackson Lee’s daughter to run for that seat, again.

read an old article, but it seems the process is the special election will be a minimum of 36 days after the governor call for a special election, but also must fall on a
“uniform election day,” which the Texas Election Code defines as the first Saturday in May or the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November."
so the earliest the special election can take place is May 3rd. but that is only 59 days from now (and governor has not even call for the election yet). Governor may say that is not enough time to allow candidates to submit and campaign so he may select November date.

Rumor has it that FlightAware tracked Hillary's flight on their scope directly overhead when his soul was taken.

Actually, I am sure about that. We didn't have the murderous riots that occurred in many other cities.
He did do a decent job during Harvey. Whether they agreed with each other or not, Turner and Ed Emmett always appeared together and presented a united front, making me believe they had actually discussed things and come to an understanding. Turner stayed the hell away from from Lena Hidalgo during the Covid crap. While a liberal D, he understood that somethings she wanted just wouldn't fly and didn't do joint press conferences with her. He could have done much worse.
