Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee might want to take her latest campaign ad back to the editing room — because it indicated the wrong date for her runoff election vote in Houston.

Mediaite has confirmed the ad aired on Houston television markets. Jackson Lee is making her last push against her fellow Democrat, Texas Senator John Whitmire, in their runoff for Houston mayor. The runoff election marks a narrowing of the field — since the two were the clear standouts among a field of 16 candidates. The two must clear the 50 percent threshold in order to win.

The ad shows Jackson Lee touting her record and declaring that “if we’re gonna bring down crime, fix our streets, and bring good paying jobs here, then Houston needs a champion who’s ready to fight for what’s right. And I am.” The ad ends with a graphic telling viewers to vote on December 7th or earlier.

There’s just one problem, which was pointed out by the political ad tracker Medium Buying: that’s not the right date. The election is actually happening on Saturday, October 9th.

Hopefully, none of her staffers get raked over the coals for this.
