The 2024 election cycle has ended, with Republicans holding control of all three branches of government. The Washington Examiner interviewed over two dozen new members as they prepare to take office in January. Part 12 of Capitol’s new crop will introduce Rep.-elect Sylvester Turner (D-TX), the former mayor of Houston, who will succeed former Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.

Rep.-elect Sylvester Turner (D-TX) comes to the Capitol with 35 years’ worth of political experience and as a survivor of cancer, a disease that took the life of his predecessor, former Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
