Tony Buzbee, a 2019 candidate running for mayor of the City of Houston does not like partisan political labels at all -- not one bit. Now, like many of us, sometimes he's very disappointed by how candidates he's supported choose to govern once they're in office. But we just can't do anything about how others choose to act! Can we? However, as warm-blooded Americans, what we can do is to continue to make our voices heard at the ballot box going forward. And the best way for us to accomplish this objective is by freely supporting the candidate (or candidates) of our own personal choices in local, state, and national elections.

Attorney Tony Buzbee Has Never Been A Partisan Kinda Guy; According to Buzbee, Partisan Labels are Bull$**t, Have no Place Whatsoever in Local Nonpartisan Citywide Elections
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
According to 2019 City of Houston Mayoral Candidate Tony Buzbee, partisan labels are Bull$**t. Now, while I don’t particularly care for the language he used, I do think he has a point. And as for me, well, I totally agree! Partisanship has no place in "NONPARTISAN ELECTIONS" like the one that’s about to go down in Houston on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. After all, the very word nonpartisan, according to the Miriam Webster Dictionary means, “not partisan, especially: free from party affiliation, bias, or designation.” So, as "ELECTION DAY," Tuesday, November 5, 2019, creeps closer and closer, I would like to take this moment to remind all Houstonians, that the local Harris County Democratic Party bosses, and Harris County Republican Party bosses should not be playing ball in the upcoming citywide elections.
PARTY POLITICS SHOULD BE REJECTED
Over the years, local citywide elections have become increasingly more and more partisan, as party bosses, pundits, political hacks, talking heads, political entrepreneurs, and consultants have adopted a “WIN-AT-ALL-COST” methodology. But what happens in these cases is candidates belonging to one political party or the other gains an unfair advantage over their fellow competitors in given races.
Look, most local citywide elections in America are nonpartisan for a very good reason. In case you don’t know, many states in America first enacted nonpartisan election laws back during the Progressive Era in direct response to the perception that “POLITICAL PARTY BOSSES” and their “ORGANIZATIONAL MACHINES” were actually corrupting city governments throughout the nation. They thought enacting such measures would curtail the practice of "PARTISAN INTERFERENCE IN LOCAL CITYWIDE ELECTIONS" and lead to a more efficient and responsive city government.
ONLY NAMES ON THE BALLOT
When Houstonians waltz into the voting booth at the start of “EARLY VOTING” on Monday, October 21, 2019, they won’t see the letter “D” or “R” in front of, or behind any name on their ballot. Nor will they find the words “DEMOCRAT” or “REPUBLICAN” anywhere on their ballot during the “EARLY VOTING PERIOD” or on “ELECTION DAY” which is on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. And rightly so, because typical nonpartisan election laws permit only the names of candidates, without any party affiliation, to appear on the ballot. So to this end, I am strongly encouraging all “OPEN-MINDED HOUSTONIANS” to make it their business to elect the “BEST-QUALIFIED” candidates who value our vote, prayers, and support at the ballot box during this pivotal moment in the history of our great nation.
THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?
According to the folks at the Houston City Secretary’s Office candidates looking to run for office on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, can pay a filing fee, or they can collect signatures to have their name placed on the ballot. So, if you are a candidate wanting to run for MAYOR OF HOUSTON you can pay a 1,250.00 dollar filing fee or collect signatures to have your name placed on the ballot. If you are a candidate who would like to run for THE CITY OF HOUSTON CONTROLLER position you can pay a 750.00 dollar filing fee or collect signatures to have your name placed on the ballot. And if you are a candidate looking to run for one of the HOUSTON CITY COUNCIL positions you can pay a 500.00 dollar filing fee or collect signatures to have your name placed on the ballot. However, if you plan on going the route of collecting signatures to have your name placed on the ballot, the exact number of signatures needed won’t be determined until sometime in July of this year from what I understand. But, to be sure, all candidates interested in running for office on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, in the City of Houston General Election can call (832)393-1100 to speak directly with someone in the City Secretary’s Office. However, if you have any problem whatsoever in getting your questions answered, you can call me directly at (281)788-3033, and I will try to do what I can to help.
