Election winners for Houston CIty Council

By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

OK. I am going out on a limb here. Winners for 2009:

Melissa Noriega. Her second term as an at-large is in the bag and she deserves it. Very good City Council Member. Congratulations. (unopposed)

Ed Gonzales. Recently won a special election and will return as City Council. Congrats. (unopposed)

James Rodriguez. A great Member of City Council. Returns for his 2nd term. Congrats!!!!

Anne Clutterbuck. Winner. Will return for a third term. Congrats. Her district will continue to be served well.

Jarvis Johnson. Winner. Second term for Jarvis. Good pick.

Wanda Adams. Winner. Second term for Wanda. Another good pick.

Mike Sullivan. I really have no idea what Mike has done or hasn't done for the district especially in Clear Lake, but I do know he isn't well liked and the more he jumps on the anti-Hispanic bandwagon, the more I dislike him.

Will Hispanics dump Locke's endorsement?

By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

What happened to the black/brown coalition that Gene Locke promised to the Tejano Democrats? From the get-go this was a bad idea not because it wouldn't work, but because it was just a bad idea to segregate and make promises based upon race especially in a city that is so diverse. And lately it looks like Locke has dumped the brown part of the coalition.

Locke hasn't paid much attention to the Hispanic vote except in a negative way. His latest mailer to the west side of Houston, that Stace at Dos Centavos has mentioned, has a picture of the wife of a slain Houston Police Officer.

What are the odds?

By johncoby@sbcglobal.net (John Coby)

On the last day of filing for City Council races, Council Member Anne Clutterbuck drew an opponent, Randy Locke. What are the odds that two individuals running for Houston City offices are both named Locke?

According to Randy Locke there is no family relationship with Gene Locke running for Mayor. Unlike Gene, Randy doesn't have any money. He doesn't have a website, and there is little if any information about him on the internets. Who is he and why would he challenge Anne who has been very successful as a city council member?

Randy has promised a website in the future. With just over a month before the election, he might want to hurry up. You have to wonder if there are games being played here. Really, what are the odds that two unrelated individuals named Locke are on the ballot together for Houston City elections?

Almost reminds me of another game.
