Democratic results, Harris County
The good: – Lane Lewis won a full term as HCDP Chair by a 55-45 margin. If you heard a whizzing noise this evening, it was the bullet we all dodged in this race. – Sheriff Adrian Garcia easily won renomination with over 70% of the vote. – State Reps. Garnet Coleman and Borris Miles [...]
For shame, Keryl Douglas
Take a look at what was being handed out at an early voting location yesterday: So much for all those denials about that “Ministers for Keryl” email.
