This will be an interesting race. Sheila is a strong candidate and will give Whitmire a good run. Mayor Turner just endorsed Sheila.

Amanda Edwards is a strong candidate and good person dropped out of the race and is now running for Sheila's seat. I really like Amanda and think that she will be a great congresswoman.
