Mr. Menefee, an attorney, defeated fellow Democrats Amanda Edwards and Jolanda Jones in a runoff election Saturday to fill the Houston-area seat previously held by Rep. Sylvester Turner (D), who died last March. With his swearing-in, the House stands at 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats, with three vacancies — in New Jersey’s 11th District, Georgia’s 14th and California’s 1st.
