The 2019 City of Houston Run-Off Election, scheduled for December 14, has shaped up into easy choices for truly progressive-minded voters. There is one of each (Dem and ‘Nut), for the most part, in the running on my ballot. I would have felt more warm and fuzzy with two Dems in each race, but progressive-minded folks have yet to realize that there are a lot more of us here in Houston to make that happen. That said, the easy choices on my ballot are:
Mayor Sylvester Turner
District F: Tiffany Thomas
At-Large 1: Raj Salhotra
At-Large 2: David Robinson (inc.)
At-Large 3: Janaeya Carmouche
At-Large 4: Dr. Letitia Plummer
At-Large 5: Sallie Alcorn
In those districts in which I don’t reside, I’m rooting for:
District H: Isabel Longoria
District J: Sandra Rodriguez
HCC1: Monica Flores-Richart
District B: Tarsha Jackson (ELECTION DELAYED)
The Special Election for Texas House District 148 will be held on January 28, so, I’m rooting for Democrat Anna Eastman to win the run-off in HD148. As people keep telling me, they are doing it all over again in March in the Dem Primary, but I agree with some of my friends who say HD148 voters can’t give away the seat to a right-wing, anti-Latino Latino just because their person didn’t make it to the run-off. Campos reports on Anna’s endorsements and they all look pretty good and diverse to me.
