A new survey regarding Houston city elections by the Hobby School of Public Affairs said that it's a close mayoral race between U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and state Sen. John Whitmire.
Whitmire, a longtime state senator who is considered the frontrunner in the mayoral race, has brought in more than $1 million in campaign contributions since July and spent nearly $4 million during that span.
The University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs released a representative survey on voters preferences and opinions surrounding candidates they likely favor in the Nov. 7 municipal election.
