Elise Hu has compiled a list of elected officials in Austin who use Twitter, for those of you who are into such things. It's a shorter list than I would have expected, but I'll bet it grows before the legislative session is over. A few locals I can add to the list:

Houston Mayor Bill White

City Controller and Mayoral candidate Annise Parker

Roy Morales, HCDE Trustee and candidate for Mayor

Maverick Welsh, running for District H

Ed Gonzalez, running for District H

Galveston District Judge Susan Criss

Julian Castro, candidate for Mayor in San Antonio
I'm sure there are others - feel free to chime in with names in the comments - but those are ones I'm following. And if you obsess about celebrities instead of politicians, Twitter has you covered there as well.
Posted by Charles Kuffner on March 04, 2009 to WebsurfingJust a clarification - the only official campaign twitter account for Bill White for Texas is: http://twitter.com/BillWhiteForTX
The other account listed belongs to a private individual and while imitation may indeed be the sincerest form of flattery, the account is not affiliated with the campaign.
