Draggingtree Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Texas Monthly: Why No One Seems to Care About Houston’s Mayoral Race Dull issues. Uninspiring candidates. General political apathy. But it’s not like Houston is the fourth-largest city in America. Oh, wait . . . October 2, 2015By Mimi Swartz4 Comments What if they held a mayoral race and nobody came? That’s the question plaguing many people currently involved in Houston politics—even if no one else in town is asking it. This phenomenon isn’t entirely new: in 2009,* a measly 19 percent of Houston voters turned out for the general election to make a winner out of Annise Parker. That number could wind up looking downright spectacular, however, after the results of the 2015 mayoral race are tabulated on November 3. At this point—about a month out—no one can even use the traditional, if lame, “just-wait–til-Labor-Day” excuse; that holiday has come and gone, and if you ask the average person on the street who he is supporting, the answer is likely to be one big shrug followed by a puzzled squint, accompanied by “Who’s running again?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
