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.

@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).

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.

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 ?

Doubling-down on Whitmire winning the Mayoralty regardless. Folks do NOT want SJL & especially once those audio recordings came out over the weekend.

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).

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/

@ChannelTwoNews @steve1363 Any of you remember this newscast from Wednesday evening, May 25th, 1983 ? Here's a picture of ABC 13's 1st virtual studio set with the beautiful sunset behind the downtown skyline from the 6:00 PM newscast. I believe this is from ABC 13's 1st virtual studio set began unveiled sometime during the early part of the Fall of 1982.
