Meet The Second Set of 9 Mayoral Candidates Who Will Face the People
The size of the field, for the May mayoral election has drawn a number of candidates. Last week (see the story HERE) we went over half of the 18 candidates and the remaining one’s we are introducing to voters this week.
These 9 candidates, below, represent the remainder of the field for the Mayor’s race.
We the People are seeking someone who has an interest in addressing the concerns of the voters.
With the behind the scenes “talks” ongoing, it is crucial for these candidates to clearly articulate their perspectives on the future of the Frost Bank Center and the potential relocation of the Spurs. They must address how such a move could impact the Eastside community—a community that has faced a history of unfulfilled promises.
Hopefully they will….we shall see.
