I’d been counting him as a candidate, if not a particularly serious one, since he had filed a treasurer’s report, but Roy Morales has now officially announced his candidacy for Mayor of Houston. He Twittered about it last night, but apparently I’m not on his press release distribution list. Ah, well.
As for the question of whether or not Latino voters would support Roy’s campaign, well, I’ll point you to this and let you decide for yourself.
On a side note, according to an email I received yesterday, the Harris County Tejano Democrats will have a meeting tomorrow night at which an endorsement for the District H special election will be discussed. Far as I know, that would be the first such endorsement for this race. I’ll pass along their decision when I hear of it.
