| Chris Bell (politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (400 words) |
 | Robert Christopher Bell (born November 23, 1959) was a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives for Texas District 25 in Houston from 2003 to 2005. |
| Right before Bell ran in the Democratic primary in 2002 for Texas Congressional District 25, he campaigned for a mayoral bid to succeed Mayor Lee P. Brown in October 2001—the incumbent Brown was facing both Bell and fellow council member Orlando Sanchez, who had Republican support though the contest was nonpartisan. |
| Bell was elected in 2002, but on March 9, 2004, he was defeated in a Democratic primary for District 9, which replaced District 25 in the 2003 Texas redistricting, by Al Green, the former President of the Houston NAACP. |
