I couldn’t have said it better, although I tried. From the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board:
Flickinger, 60, who helps lead his family’s hydraulic equipment company, seems to view problems (and solutions) through more of a partisan lens than Dixon, and we worry he’d function more as an obstructionist rather than a constructive coalition builder.
A vote for Dixon is a vote for a government where Democrats and Republicans can work together to improve citizens’ lives. Houston needs that. And so does the rest of America.
Seriously. I said it this way: “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.”
Personally I am just tired of the white wing lies, disruption, and stupidity of the far right candidates. We need someone who will put their political background in the background. Flickinger will not do that.
So far I am 1-0 with the Chronicles endorsements.
