'''Texas's 18th congressional district''' of the [[United States House of Representatives]] includes much of inner city [[Houston]] and the surrounding area. It has been the Downtown Houston district since 1972. The current Representative from the 18th district is [[Sheila Jackson Lee]].
 
The district was first represented by [[Barbara Jordan]], the first black woman elected to Congress from the South, who was praised by many for her powerful presence and oratorical skills. She was also the first lesbian to serve that district.<ref>{{cite web|title=Before Things Went to Hell|date=December 28, 2018|publisher=[[This American Life]]|url=https://www.thisamericanlife.org/665/before-things-went-to-hell}}</ref>{{clarify|date=March 2020}}
 
Since the district was moved to Houston in 1972, it has voted for a Democrat in every presidential election. The district gave [[George McGovern]] 69% in 1972 and [[Walter Mondale]] 72% in 1984.
