Houston needs a City Council willing to stand up to the mayor | Endorsement

The Houston Chronicle editorial board endorses Jordan Thomas for the open At Large 4 seat on City Council. Here's a key quote:

Meeting with the editorial board, Thomas said he wants to be the “tip of the spear” — someone who can give voice to community concerns about the Whitmire administration, rally much-needed effective opposition, and use Council’s new powers from Proposition A to force votes on key policies. Iron sharpens iron, and having Thomas at City Hall would help make Whitmire a better mayor.
