'''Texas |
'''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}} |
|||
While District 18 is one of the Democratic Congressional districts in Texas, it is located next to one of the most Republican districts in the state, [[Texas's 7th congressional district |District 7]]. |
|||
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. |
|||
== District in Fiction == |
|||
In the widely acclaimed TV drama ''[[The West Wing (TV series)|The West Wing]]'', [[Matt Santos]] was the Congressman of Texas District 18 before running for President. |

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.[5][clarification needed]
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.
