Houston and Harris County political races to watch
Politics are again heating up in Houston and Harris County.
Why it matters: Upcoming races to watch include a hotly contested election to replace late U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner and another deciding general-election candidates to lead Harris County.
Driving the news: Voters in the 18th Congressional District, a deeply Democratic-leaning district across a large swath of Houston, will vote for their representative during a special election Nov. 4.
The seat has been vacant since Turner's death in March. Turner, the former Houston mayor, had served in Congress for only two months before he died.
