So this bitch is term-limited, election for new Mayor in December.
Anyone got the skinny?
She is not eligible for reelection after her 3rd 2 year term.
Either Sylvester Turner and Bill King will elected Mayor in the run-off election December 12, 2015 and sworn into office in January.

Are the demographic numbers from this vote available somewhere?
I fundamentally disagree with the authors premise that the Left is only winning because of the courts.
They’re winning because they’re able to hold together a pretty ideologically fractured coalition that still has enough cohesion to elect Democrats to office.
When it comes to specific referendum policy votes the Left loses badly because parts of their partisan coalition are able to abandon it to vote true ideology. Prop 8 in California is another good example of this.
So King (R) made the runoff, good. Does he have any chance you think?
He’s a former Mayor of a suburb of Galveston? That’s pretty unusual.
Just because she’s term-limited out, it doesn’t mean she’ll go away. Next, she’ll run for Congress, or for governor of Texas. Hopefully she’ll fade into oblivion like Abortion Barbie, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
