Booting Sheila Jackson Lee: Congressional Candidate John Faulk

The following is an excerpt from an exclusive interview with conservative Congressional Candidate John Faulk who is looking to replace Sheila Jackson Lee in Congress. 

Faulk asserts that since 1995 (when Lee took office), the 18th Congressional District has been without representation.  Faulk’s website states, “Our representative has spent more time traveling to Louisiana, Brazil, and even Pakistan than holding office hours in Houston. It is time for change!”

Faulk also says that Lee has only written and passed one piece of legislation during her entire tenure in office.  That legislation was to have a statue of Abolitionist Sojourner Truth erected in the Capitol Rotunda.   Faulk’s frustrations show in his desire to take back the 18th for the people.

The conventional wisdom of the Republican party is that Lee seems almost unbeatable as a candidate, but is not a threat as an actual representative.  Republicans say, "‘Well, we know she’s (Lee) ineffective, so leave her alone,’” says Faulk, who adds, “But that’s one vote against a Republican vote.”  Faulk also notes that since, historically, Sheila Jackson Lee has received little to no serious competition for her seat in the district, she has used her considerable campaign contributions to support other Democrats in other races.

Faulk, a pro-life, balanced budget, small government, candidate also characterizes Lee as the single most liberal member of the U.S. House of Representatives.  Faulk says, “She is absolutely the most liberal person in the House.  She votes 100% of the time with the Democratic Party.  She also votes 100% of the time with Planned Parenthood.”
