Voters in Texas' 18th District have had little break in a series of elections as the result of the Republican-controlled state Legislature's redrawing of congressional districts last year. Neither have Democrat Christian Menefee, who won Saturday's runoff election to fill the unfinished term of the late Rep. Sylvester Turner, and the candidate he beat, former Houston Councilwoman Amanda Edwards. The two quickly pivoted toward the March 3 primary in the new 18th District, where they will face veteran Democratic Rep. Al Green, who has decided to run in the more Democratic-leaning district than where he lives now.
