Bay Area Houston

Clear Lake hasn’t had a City Council Member living in Clear Lake for many years. I believe the last was Addie Wiseman. That was decades ago. This year is no different.

District E covers Clear Lake and Kingwood areas, connected by a drainage ditch. Literally. Kingwood has more voters than Clear Lake and has been able to elect Council Members from that area. Currently Council Member Dave Martin is from Kingwood and is term limited so we have a chance to elect someone new.

There are two candidates running Martina Lemond Dixon and Fred Flickinger. This office is a non partisan position and we should expect our elected officials to be non partisan and leave their politics at the door. Unfortunately one candidate is an extreme right wing republican. He is self financing his campaign and endorsed by some of the most right wing of the area including CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen, the Texas GOP, Harris County Republican Party, and State Representative “Little Baby” Briscoe Cain. Much like Bowen, he will bring his extreme politics into city council.

Martina Lemond Dixon is also running. Unlike her opponent she has a history of public service. She is also a Republican.  She is the chief executive officer of a small company, Board President of the HumbleISD School Board, Board Secretary of the Harris Central Appraisal District (HCAD), and most recently, was appointed Commissioner on the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE). She has a good resume for the office.

We have a choice in Clear Lake between an extremist from Kingwood or a Republican from Kingwood. The choice is ours. The choice is clear.
