Does Tony have any chance of winning this?

I would guess that Turner will get 90% of the black vote and I think most are ignorant of his corruption.

The Houston Mayoral Election is a nonpartisan blanket primary so all of the interested candidates run against each other without a D or R next to their name. Based on name recognition and being the main GOP type candidate, I would think he would make the runoff. Whether or not he wins all depends on voter turnout as Turner hasnt done a whole lot to keep himself in favor with most Houstonians I would think. I dont live in city limits though so I dont follow the city issues too closely.

The completely botched handling of the no-knock drug raid and a lack of resignation from the police chief makes Turner a sitting duck.

Turner is definitely gifting Buzbee campaign ammo lately.

Yep. And he'll surely add this to the list.

Prisoner Escapes

Other than free beer my favorite part of last night was Buzbee talking about the money spent repeatedly fixing potholes. That was Turners main selling point a few years ago.

If people vote straight ticket, Buzbee has zero chance.

Bill King would like to say something about that.

Buzbee is a Democrat, yes? He fundraised for Adrian Garcia and Turner when they ran against Bill King.

---

Buzbee has also fundraised for Bush, Perry, and Trump...

No parties in Houston Mayoral Elections

So doesn't really matter if he is actually a Democrat, just that he is a better choice than Turner.

I lived in the city limits for 3 years and never actually got a chance to vote for mayor. I did get to vote against SJL twice though.

Houston mayoral election is non-party. Straight ticket don't mean jack.

There is no more straight ticket voting in Texas anyway.

---

No effect on the mayoral election, but the above is fantastic news for Houston in 2020.

In 2020, Harris County is going to go democrat on everything, even without straight ticket voting.

Straight ticket voting is outlawed beginning with 2020 elections. A vote will have to be placed for each position on the ballet.

Oddly unsurprising endorsement here (not that I've ever heard of this organization before). How many fountains does he have in the circle drive in front of his River Oaks mansion? JMO, but sports cars always look hotter when parked in front of a nude, muscular statue.

Buzbee out as A&M regent.

He wasn't reappointed - I guarantee he wanted to be

Don't know about fountains, but once there was a tank

Just put my Tony Buzbee for Mayor sign in the front yard.

This is a "non-partisan" race. But if Buzbee wins, I will genuinely interested to see if he seeks higher office and which party he decides to align with. There are certainly indications either way:

Trial lawyer
Unions
Veterans
Trump supporter
Trump critic
Snoop
Asleep at the Wheel

So he's a politician

Going to a little meet and greet for him next week. I think one of my biggest questions is what his take on this new trend of big liberal cities making it easier for bums to camp all over public property.
