Election Day is almost here! There are many offices up for election in Houston fron mayor to district city councilperson, not to mention eleven state constitutional amendments to vote on. To read up on the candidates and the amendments see my posts about:
- The race to be the next Mayor of Houston
- The race to be the next Houston City Controller
- Houston City Council At-Large races
- Houston City Council District races
- Proposed Texas Constitutional Amendments
- Election Day
If you’d prefer to check out other blogs to see what they’re saying, I recommend: The Blogfather himself, Charles Kuffner, who has the best snapshot of who is running, Martha Griffin, Burnt Orange Report, John Cobarruvias, Stace Medellin, Dr. Richard Murray, Perry Dorrell, Greg Wythe, and David Ortez.
I also suggest checking out the League of Women Voters [PDF] guide (Thanks, Kuff!).
The future of Houston’s public transportation is among the major issues of all the races. Citizens’ Transportation Coalition has the transit positions for all the candidates (Thanks again, Kuff!).
If after reading through all this or just skipping over it all you still don’t know who to vote for, Martha and Burnt Orange Report are wise.
Early voting continues 7 AM to 7 PM today until Friday the 30th. You can vote at any of the following locations:
