Sheila Jackson Lee, who is running for Houston mayor, is responding to audio that’s been making the rounds on social media. The audio surfaced over the weekend, just before early voting started for the Nov. 7 elections.
It’s not clear when the audio was recorded, but in it, a woman could be heard berating a person, using several profanities that could be heard on the recording.“I want to convey to the people of Houston that I strongly believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and that includes my own staff. I know that I am not perfect.
"At heart, I am someone who tells it straight. I know that as much as that is a strength, it can sometimes be a challenge to balance. But when I fall short, I want the people I represent to know that it is because I’m standing up for them - not me.
"Many staff have worked in my office and many of them have gone on to bigger and better opportunities, and others as well have returned to work with me again. Interns in my office leave with actual constituent service and legislative experience. I want each of them to know that the work we accomplish would never be possible without their hard work and dedication. Working as a public servant is demanding, but it is my calling.
"Moving forward, I want the people of Houston to know that my vision for our city, as mayor, is unwavering. I am dedicated to addressing the pressing issues that our community faces, such as crime and public safety, education, healthcare, affordable housing, and economic and greater job development. I’m excited about the opportunities to secure more federal funds and developing public private partnerships for the city.
