New Filings: Parker, Green, Freeman, Jones, Lewis

I got tweets, Facebook posts and emails from candidates who filed today to be on the November ballot for the City of Houston elections. Three business days left to file! Next Wednesday, at 5 PM, is the deadline. If you want to find out right away who filed and who did not, consider attending Melissa Noriega's event that night - September 2nd, 5:30 PM, Cafe Adobe on Westheimer. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the folks who have not filed are going to be no-shows. What do you think? Peter Brown will file, but what will Roy Morales do? If he files, I predict it will be at 4:59PM on Wednesday. I have always thought there is a possibility he won't file, and I still think that. He has basically no money and very little real support. If he gets in, he'll get the teabagger vote, and not much beyond that. Remember, my "still to file" lists are people who have been seen on the campaign trail or who filed a June 30th financial report. New names since my last update are in red.

(I have some folks on my list who are not on the City list yet, because they are my Facebook friends or I follow them on Twitter.)
