The choice was between a gay white female democrat and a black male democrat. Not knowing either of them or the situation in Houston—on the face of it, it did not seem like much of a choice—boned either way.
The fact her first statement was all about “changing the world”...”transforming the lives of all”...”come together and heal like we’ve never healed before”...etc. does not lead me to conclude that school reform, crime-fighting, tansportation, sewerage, trash pickup and all those ooky unglamorous issues will be high on her list of priorities.
She supports putting 2 officers in patrol cars so that the cops can feel safer.
I wish we had A mayor who would work to make Houston CITIZENS feel safe enough to drive alone.
And our corrupt former Republican DA worked actively to disarm motorists by claiming he would prosecute them as felons in spite of state law.
