The race to replace a late Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner in Texas’ 18th Congressional District went to a runoff election between Democrat Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards.
The convention center, which covers some of the most densely populated parts of Houston, has been empty since the sudden death of March 5.
A democratic slogan, there were 16 candidates in the race, seven Democrats, five Republicans, three independents and a green party candidate.
