Sheila will never be a senator.
The political machine that keeps her in power would make Tammanny Hall blush in shame.
She was a school administrator who ran for city council on a fling, lucked into a win, and then was around when Mickey Leland slammed into the mountain in Africa.
The distrcit she serves is actually pretty affluent. Houston has a very large Middle Class and Upper Class African American Community.
She also represents downtown, and has learned that all money is green.
