  1. I was surprised that Evans-Shabazz missed out on winning outright in District D: I think Provost is to blame for that one, who needs to get the hint that NOBODY wants her on the Houston City Council & go away. I also agree with you on Whitmire easily trouncing SJL in the Mayoral runoff election. Big question is whether Sanchez can pull off a miracle in the City Controller runoff election & according to Jennifer Knesek on Instagram, she does NOT like Hollins at all.
  2. @steve1363 We now have Runoffs for Houston Mayor, Houston City Controller & several City Council seats set for December 9th I think. Mayor: Doubling-down on Whitmire winning this very easily. I've got to think Garcia, Kaplan, Kahn & Co., will be pressured to endorse Whitmire. City Controller: I called it! Runoff between Hollins (D) vs Sanchez (R).
  3. Sanchez is well-known across Houston considering he served 3 2-year terms on the Houston City Council representing At-Large 3 & Harris County Treasurer for 12 years from January 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_Sanchez_(politician) https://orlandosanchez.com/ https://orlandosanchez.com/endorsements/ Noticed some former TV news reporters & anchors have backed Sanchez.
  4. Contests to watch for Tonight: *Houston Mayor: Runoff between Whitmire (D) vs SJL (D). *Houston City Controller: Runoff between Hollins (D) vs Sanchez (R). *Houston City Council At-Large 1 (OPEN): Can Kendall Baker avoid a runoff & win outright ? *Houston City Council At-Large 2 (OPEN): Runoff *Houston City Council At-Large 3 (OPEN): Can former ABC 13 KTRK-TV Houston meteorologist Casey Curry pull this off & win ? *Houston City Council At-Large 4: Incumbent City Councilwoman At-Large 4 Letitia Plummer (D) should be able to win reelection without a runoff. *Houston City Council At-Large 5: Incumbent City Councilwoman At-Large 5 Sallie Alcorn (D) wins reelection easily. *Houston City Council District A: Incumbent District A City Councilwoman Amy Peck (R) easily wins reelection in a massive landslide. *Houston City Council District B: Incumbent District B City Councilwoman Tarsha Jackson (D) wins 1st full 4-year term. *Houston City Council District C: Incumbent District C City Councilwoman Abbie Kamin (D) wins reelection. *Houston City Council District D: Incumbent District D City Councilwoman Carolyn Evans-Shabazz (D) wins reelection in massive landslide. *Houston City Council District E (OPEN): Runoff *Houston City Council District F: Incumbent District F City Councilwoman Tiffany D. Thomas (D) wins reelection. *Houston City Council District G: Incumbent District G City Councilwoman Mary Nan Huffman (R) wins 1st full 4-year term defeating that Jackass Buzbee. *Houston City Council District H (OPEN): Runoff maybe if neither get the necessary 50% to win outright. *Houston City Council District I (OPEN): Maybe a potential runoff. *Houston City Council District J: Incumbent District J City Councilman Edward Pollard (D) wins reelection. Although I suspect Pollard will be plotting campaigns for higher office in the future. *Houston City Council District K: Incumbent District K City Councilwoman Martha Castex-Tatum (D) easily wins reelection. Any disagreements or personal thoughts ?
  5. Doubling-down on Whitmire winning the Mayoralty regardless. Folks do NOT want SJL & especially once those audio recordings came out over the weekend.
  6. The same scumbag Paxton, who's pretty much all but declared he's running for the United States Senate in 2026 against 4-term incumbent United States Senator John Cornyn (R-TX).

  10. Meteorologist Lena Maria Arango leaving Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston after just two years with the Fox O&O Station. Arango said she'll be staying in Houston. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/article/meteorologist-lena-arango-leaving-fox-26-houston-18345870.php Wondering who'll take Arango's place 🤔
  11. Speaking of Buzbee, he announced plans on running for Houston City Council District G against incumbent Mary-Nan Huffman (R). His campaign will NOT go anywhere because if he somehow knocked her off, we all know he'll be using that City Council seat as a stepping stone for the Mayoralty in 2027. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08/21/tony-buzbee-houston-city-council-paxton/
  12. @ChannelTwoNews @steve1363 Any of you remember this newscast from Wednesday evening, May 25th, 1983 ?

I believe this is from ABC 13's 1st virtual studio set began unveiled sometime during the early part of the Fall of 1982.
