I know I said I was finished with Council candidate interviews, but I wound up with one more, and will have two more HISD Trustee interviews to run next week as well. Today’s interview is a bit of a departure, in that it is with three candidates at once. They are Donald Cook, Deborah Shafto, and Alfred Molison, and they are running as the Progressive Coalition for Houston City Council. Cook is a candidate for At Large #1, Shafto for At Large #4, and Molison is running as a write-in candidate in District C. Their platform and priorities are a little different than the other candidates I’ve spoken to, so it was a very interesting change of pace. Give them a listen and see what you think.

    Shafto has an awesome name.

    I was unaware of this. Very good. I’ll link to this.

    Though it does elude me how Mr. Molison was unable to get himself on the ballot. It is one thing to have no money and run a campaign with a message. It is another thing to get the basics of ballot access wrong.
