Noel Freeman was the first of the runnerup City Council candidates to make an endorsement in the runoff, and now Andy Neill has followed suit.
My Fellow Houstonians,
As a registered Independent and a candidate for City Council during the current Special Election cycle, I have been granted a truly unique vantage point from which to assess fellow competitors and their messages of change for the City of Houston. It’s from that perspective that I feel compelled to endorse candidate Melissa Noreiga for the vacant At-Large position 3 seat in the upcoming runoff.
Melissa Noriega has earned my admiration and respect with her compassion, sincerity, and firm grasp of the complex issues that affect our citizens on a daily basis. Specifically I share Melissa’s vision of Houston that addresses the following concerns:
- Balancing economic growth with the need for more green space and parks
- Greater protection of our citizenry while respecting individual freedoms at the same time
- Greater attention to the special needs of our children and Senior Citizens
I encourage everyone to do their homework on the issues that affect them and their families and make their own choice. I however have made mine and I am proud to support Melissa Noriega over the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Andy Neill
The only other formal announcement of an endorsement so far is from Tom Nixon, who endorsed Roy Morales. I am aware of other endorsements in the works, and will report on them as soon as I have the official word.
