Congressional Catfight: Jackson-Lee Defeats Foxx

The polls are now closed, and here are your results: Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has handily defeated Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), by a margin of 64 percent to 36 percent. Although Jackson-Lee’s lead narrowed over time, it was still commanding by the time that voting concluded.

This fight was much closer than Katherine Harris’s demolition of Jo Ann Emerson; but it wasn’t exactly a squeaker. Expect the margins to tighten, and the catfights to grow more competitive, as the tournament goes on.
