In Houston, that is. More precisely, it's the first day of early voting for the upcoming November 3 mayoral election. Polling places are opening at 8 AM CDT, and here's where you find out the location of the one nearest you.
I've been keeping up with the campaign developments, and I am really bummed that I'm not home to help out with this final election push to help a friend and ally of the Houston trans community in her effort to get elected mayor of my hometown.
She along with city attorney Gene Locke got the endorsements of the Houston Chronicle. That's a huge boost that comes at a time when people are stepping off the fence, starting to pay attention to the fact there IS an election scheduled for November 3, and sorting through the campaign clutter to decide who they really want running Houston.
I'm hoping she can get enough votes to win it without a December runoff election, but as long as she's in the top two, she's got a shot.
