Sheila Jackson Lee, a U.S. Representative from Texas and mother of Jason Lee, senior adviser to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, unsuccessfully ran for mayor of Houston last summer. During her failed mayoral bid, she raised over $80,000 in Chicago, with contributions from City Hall insiders. Mayor Johnson himself supported her campaign, highlighting the connection between the cities at a fundraiser. Despite the financial support from Chicago, Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, lost the mayoral race and is now seeking another term in Congress.
In most major local government elections in Southern Nevada, incumbents are seeking re-election in 2024. And almost without fail, the incumbent outraised any challengers last calendar year. @naokadforeman, @NewsyJan report: https://t.co/x7XHP1EOTA

The mayor's 2021 campaign potentially received $396,000 in taxpayer money through bundling. Regulators say they expect changes this year to the city’s rules on so-called campaign “intermediaries” who bundle donations. https://t.co/9LvLFpAkUZ
