It'll be a very intriguing 2023 Mayoral campaign including campaigns for Houston City Controller & City Council.

Subscribed & following this thread!

I'm amazed that Fox 26 has NOT picked a permanent replacement for Christy'ann Uribe, who was the Weekday Traffic Anchor before she left. I know Coco Dominguez briefly did Traffic during 5:00 PM newscasts before she moved to doing "The Buzz" entertainment segments. I still like to know if Jose Grinan & Denise Middleton are coming back ? 😕

Praying to God that Whitmire WINS this fall. He's got 50 years of political experience: having served in the TX House of Representatives from the 82nd District (1973-1983) for 5 2-year terms & currently serving in the TX State Senate representing District 15 since 1983. Plus he's the former brother-in-law of former Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire (D), who held the office for 5 2-year terms from 1982 to 1992. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Whitmire Whitmire's campaign website: https://www.johnwhitmire.com/

I just do NOT see Hollins or Edwards getting any traction.

I should note Austinites just elected former State Senator Kirk Watson (D-Austin) to 3rd non-consecutive term as Austin Mayor earlier this month. Watson will be up for 4th term in 2024 as the Mayoral election will move into presidential years.

Whitmire is the early front-runner though & he's got the $$$$$$. 🤔

She'll also be doing "The News Edge: Early Edition" 6:00 PM & "The News Edge" 10:00 PM. How long do y'all think Caroline stays with Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston ? A.) 6 years B.) 12 years C.) 20 years D.) Too Soon to Tell

Now that's intriguing.

Good Morning HAIF Family. I've started discussion megathread on the upcoming 2023 Mayoral election for Houston Mayor in the race to succeed outgoing Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), who's term limited from seeking a 3rd consecutive term. The obvious frontrunner is longtime State Senator John Whitmire (D-Houston), who's the brother-in-law of former Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire (D), who held the office for 5 2-year terms from 1982 to 1992. Whitmire's pledges if elected: *Solve the homeless crisis. *Vastly improve Houston's tattered streets & dramatically improve flood control. *Uniting law enforcement & citizens against rampant crime. *Negotiating fair deal with HFD firefighters. *Repairing Houston's dysfunctional & chaotic relationship with state leaders in Austin. Any thoughts on the upcoming 2023 Mayoral election & I've got some questions: 1.) Will this go into a runoff ? 2.) Do you think any of the GOPers (Kubosh or Knox) will jump in ? 3.) Does Whitmire win outright to avoid a runoff ?

Any new developments in the North Forest ISD situation ?

How many of these U of H campuses is the University of Houston planning to build ? 🤔

Assuming you've heard about the recent water boiling crisis ?

Trump will win the Presidency again in 2024.

This came out of nowhere,but Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston reporter Tiffany Justice has left the station. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClPZaYjpr7Q/ https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2022/11/tiffany-justice-leaves-fox-26-houston.html?m=1

Abbott won by DOUBLE DIGITS over that 4-time LOSER from El Paso (55% to 43%) & carried 235 out of 254 counties.

Dr. Mark Jones thinks Hidalgo might seek statewide office soon. . 🤣

Super excited to see my beloved Alamo City in this subthread of HAIF 😊

They're building way too expletive much. Plus gentrification is driving folks into the Suburbs of Austin.

Yet the homeless crisis continues to escalate even further in the Capitol City!

Assuming you're not a fan of "Houston Happens" ?

All signs are pointing toward Mealer winning in 12 days because she's got the momentum.

They still have these creepy cartoons in the Chronicle ?
