We don’t get a lot of competitive Council race in Houston that don’t involve an open seat. As I’ve noted before, we may get one this year for At Large #5. One of the candidates seeking to unseat incumbent Council Member Jolanda Jones is Carlos Obando, who was the first to announce his candidacy. Obando is a Bellaire native who has worked abroad in the investment industry, and owns his own public relations firm. He was a candidate in the GOP primary for HD134 last year. Obando is a resident of Midtown.
