BeerNut Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Buzbee met with Hotze several times in search of support, contradicting debate claims Quote One of the leaders of a controversial, anti-LGBTQ group on Tuesday said Tony Buzbee met numerous times with Steven Hotze before the Republican power broker endorsed his mayoral campaign, contradicting comments Buzbee made at a televised debate the night before. Buzbee and Hotze met three or four times, starting in late September, according to Jared Woodfill, who for years has worked directly with Hotze and his group, Campaign for Houston, including as its spokesman. During the meetings, Woodfill said, Buzbee asked for the group to “support” his campaign but did not ask for its endorsement. Woodfill said he and Hotze did not see a distinction between the two. Hotze ultimately chose to back Buzbee, penning a full-page letter of support in the Link Letter, a popular conservative newsletter. Asked during Monday’s debate if he shares Hotze’s anti-LGBTQ views, Buzbee said he only had met Hotze once at a church and does not agree with the views Hotze has espoused. “I was surprised to receive that endorsement,” Buzbee said. “I’m not sure why I received it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Dogs Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Runoff for Houston Mayor has been set between Turner (D) & Buzbee (R), which will be held on December 14th. Big question is who King, Boykins & Lovell will endorse ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Turner would've likely gotten an outright majority if Boykins hadn't run. The fact that the mayoral race now has to be decided in a runoff will significantly increase turnout over what it would have been if the only runoffs had been for downballot races.

Several At-Large City Council seats & District Council seats are also in Runoffs too. On the Mayoral contest: I noticed there isn't any debates during the Runoff campaign. I'm guessing it's too little, too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
