Update: Council Member Wanda Adams Has an Opponent

Several more folks have filed to be on the ballot in November for the City of Houston elections. The big news to me is that Council Member Wanda Adams has an opponent in District D. Put we on the record as being a huge Wanda Adams fan. Anyone know anything about Larry McKinzie? Updates in red from yesterday. From the City of Houston website (with a note from me of folks who are currently campaigning for each race - and/or filed a June 30th campaign finance report, but have yet to file for the ballot. "i" indicates the incumbent.): Mayor: Gene Locke Still to file: Annise Parker, Peter Brown, Roy Morales Controller: Pam Holm Still to file: Ron Green, MJ Kahn (note: this one interests me. Why did none of these screen with the Tejano Dems, instead waiting to screen when they screen for a second round after the Sept. 2nd filing deadline? Is someone dropping out? Someone else getting in?) At-Large 1: Brad Batteau, Karen Derr Still to file: Steve Costello, Rick Rodriguez, Herman Litt, Lonnie Allsbrooks, Donald Cook At-Large 2: Sue Lovell (i), Andrew Burks Still to file: Rozy Shorter, Griff Griffin At-Large 3: Melissa Noriega (i) At-Large 4: C.O. Bradford Still to file: Noel Freeman At-Large 5: Jack Christie Still to file: Jolanda Jones (i), Davetta Daniels, Carlos Obando A: Jeff Downing, Alex Wathan, Amy Peck Still to file: Lane Lewis, Brenda Stardig, Bob Schoelkopf B: none Still to file: Jarvis Johnson (i) C: none Still to file: Ann Clutterbuck (i), Alfred Mollison D: Larry McKinzie Still to file: Wanda Adams (i) E: Wayne Garrison, Mike Sullivan (i) F: Mike Laster Still to file: Joe Chow, Lewis Cook, Robert Kane, Peter Acquaro G: Oliver Pennington, Dexter Handy, George Foulard, Mills Worsham Still to file: Richard Sedita H: none Still to file: Ed Gonzalez (i) I: none Still to file: James Rodriguez (i) If I'm missing anybody, or if you know for sure some of the above are not campaigning and are not going to file, let me know!

McKinzie ran in 2007 in D and got 2.64% of the vote.
