Via email from Burt Levine:
I went by the City Secretary's office at the close of business Thursday and found out that retired US Air Force Col. Roy Morales was the last to file Thursday.
Morales, a seventh generation Houstonian, grew up in the Houston area investing in east end communities where his great grandmother and grandparents settled. Morales, a husband and father and businessman that nearly forced Peter Brown into a run-off two years put on his filing sheet Martha Wong, the former three term Houston Council Member as his campaign treasurer.
There was no evidence anywhere, even when I asked those I know in the city secretary office that Tom Reiser had filed.
In other Council race news, Isiah Carey breaks the story that Gerald Womack will not run for the District D seat that will be open when Ada Edwards is term-limited out at the end of this year.
When reached by phone Womack would only say he's focusing more on his businesses. He went on to say he believes he could do more for the community from the private sector rather than seeking public office.
