We have so many elections—and with campaigning now a year-round activity, it’s tough to tell what we’re voting on. This November, Houston residents will have a ballot before them allowing them to decide on leaders at the local level—the level of government that has the most immediate impact on our lives.
“This municipal election is important because whoever is mayor in the city of Houston in 2020 is really gonna have some say,” Mayor Turner recently said.
And he’s right. The mayor has over 10 challengers, ranging from former and current Houston City Council members to a professional wrestler. In the coming weeks, they’ll participate in public forums, town halls and debates. Pay attention; it’s important.
The issues we face as Houstonians are complex. From flooding problems to budget issues to affordable housing, Houston is at a crossroads. We can take the fiscally responsible path before us, or we can go the way of many cities that find themselves in decline. To help voters decide which, here are some things to ponder.

What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
When are you going to make a comment?
You’ve never made a single one.
Yonder.
In coming weeks they’ll have debate?
Early voting is under way until November 1st.
General election is after that.
Real estate prices are rising by design. Mayor Lee P. Brown didn’t want any homes in Houston valued at less than $200k saying that “they” cost the city more in services than they paid in taxes.
This city has been directed by the real estate people since the days of Bob Lanier.
And our city’s assets have been given away (as stated in the article) but that went into overdrive under Anise Parker. Even our parks were put under the control of Houston F1rst. Weren’t they caught using their unchecked $25,000,000 budget to give out 6 figure salaries saying “we’ll stop, sorry” when they were caught?
$3,000,000 for bands to play at the airport under Turner. We can’t afford it.
I vote to get the thread pulled!
I vote to have the blogger horsewhipped.
