It’s a new year, and by the end of 2023, the city of Houston will hold an election for a new mayor.
Dr. Michael Adams, chair of the political science department at the Barbara Jordan - Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University, says there’s plenty of time for even more candidates to declare.
“We have an impressive field so far. There may be others who will get into the race that could be considered to be formidable candidates,” he said. However, which candidate has the capability to go the distance in the campaign season will depend on how well-funded they are, according to Adams. According to public financial records filed with the city of Houston and the state of Texas, John Whitmire has $9.5 million in cash on hand; Chris Hollins has raised $1.1 million; Lee Kaplan has raised $835,000; Amanda Edwards has raised $789,000; and Robin Williams has $189,000 in contributions.“This is one of the most, probably expensive and costliest mayoral campaigns that we’ll see in recent history in Houston, Texas,” Adams said.
