HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© WILL NO LONGER BE ENDORSING ANY POLITICAL CANDIDATES 

While Houston Business Connections Newspaper© held it's own in the endorsement game, we will not be issuing any endorsements going forward. Instead of endorsing candidates, we will focus our efforts on assisting our "non-partisan" reader-base with identifying candidates running for office who value the vote, prayers, and support of every warm-blooded American.


HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© IS A TRUSTED NON-PARTISAN BRANDING AND MOBILIZATION TOOL

In case you don’t remember, in a head-to-head “ENDORSEMENT SHOWDOWN” candidates endorsed by a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers performed significantly better than those endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board back in the Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Presidential Election as Democratic candidates rolled to historic countywide victories over their Republicans counterparts in what, at the time, was the worst defeat ever for the Harris County Republican Party in its 71-year history.


HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© READERS SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO VALUE THEIR VOTE

As a refresher, there were sixty-seven (67) races where a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers went head-to-head against the Houston Chronicle editorial board. Fifty-one (51) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper© (in the head-to-head contest) back in the 2016 Presidential Election won their respective races on election night. By contrast, only thirty-eight (38) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board (in these key races) won their respective races back on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, in the Presidential Election as it relates specifically to Harris County, Texas.

On Tuesday, November 5, 2019, the City of Houston will play host to the most important citywide election of our lifetime. In case you haven’t heard, a host of viable candidates will be challenging Mayor Sylvester Turner in the fall. While the official filing period won’t begin until Saturday, July 20, 2019, Bill King, Tony Buzbee, Kendall Baker, Demetria Smith, Derrick Broze, Anton Dowls, and Naoufal Houjami have already made it know, that they plan to challenge Houston’s current mayor.


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.

Bill King, a 2019 Candidate Running for Mayor of the City of Houston Aims to End Pay-To-Play Politics at Houston City Hall


Bill King, a 2019 Candidate for Mayor of Houston Aims to End Pay-To-Play Politics at Houston City Hall if Elected on Tuesday, November 5, 2019

BILL KING: “I held a press conference this morning to announce that there will be a petition drive this spring to invoke the City Charter's initiative provision to enact an ordinance that would severely limit campaign contributions from a number of groups, mostly those that do business with the City.

Campaign contributions from the City's vendors and contractors have increasingly come to dominate fundraising by candidates for the City's elected offices. Research we have been doing over the last year indicates that about 70-75% of the contributions come from those who do business with the City or are regulated by it. And we are talking about many millions of dollars. Far beyond the ability of ordinary citizens to contribute.

This pay-to-play creates an inherent conflict-of-interest that we need to eliminate from our City government. I am not suggesting by initiating this petition drive that every candidate who has ever accepted a campaign contribution from someone doing business with the City is corrupt. Nor am I suggesting that every vendor or contractor who has given a contribution is corrupt - because candidly I have been on both sides of that equation at various points in my life. I know what it is like to get that call from an elected official asking to come to his or her birthday party and bring a contribution. And I can tell you that many times it felt like legalized extortion. I know that a lot of other people who do business with the City feel the same way.

The new ordinance will provide that any person who contributes more than $250 will be disqualified for a period of two-year period from: 

(1) entering into a contract with the City,

(2) registering as a City lobbyist;

(3) or being appointed to any of city boards or commissions.

It will also ban candidates for City office from accepting campaign contributions from sexually oriented businesses. With Houston being one of the national hubs for human trafficking, I think it is important that we do not anything that even appears to condone sexual exploitation.

These types of restrictions are commonplace in many other jurisdictions, and polling we did in 2015 indicated that nearly 90% of Houstonians agree that these kinds of contributions should be prohibited or severely limited.

You can review a copy of the proposed ordinance [here].

But this will only happen by the direct action of Houston voters through the initiative provision. Under that provision, once about 40,000 Houstonians sign a petition supporting the adoption of a new ordinance, City Council has about 30 days to either adopt the ordinance or to put the ordinance on the ballot at the next regularly scheduled election date, which will be November 5 this year.

The requirements of the initiative provision are onerous. Only City registered voters can sign the petition and only City registered voters can collect signatures from other voters. The signatures must be collected within a 30-day window. We currently plan to conduct the drive in May.

This is going to require a tremendous grassroots effort. So, I am asking today for those Houstonians who agree we should undertake this reform to volunteer to help us collect the 40,000 signatures needed for an election. 

Again, in order to be able to collect signatures, you must be a registered voter in the City of Houston, and you will need to attend an online training session about how to legally collect signatures. If you are willing to do so, please reply to this email or sign up at End Pay-to-Play to be a petition gatherer at and we will be in touch about how you can help in this effort.

I also call on every candidate in the 2019 election cycle to endorse this reform and to help us gather petitions. And I hope that as you are considering candidates for the various City offices in the November election, you will ask each of them if they support campaign finance reform and if not, why not.

This ordinance will change the way business is done at City Hall for generations. Let's get this done!”
