Mayor Sylvester Turner (left) got his man, Ric Campo (right) was confirmed as the new chair of the Port of Houston Authority on yesterday, Thursday, January 17, 2019. In case you don't remember, Tony Buzbee questioned why Mayor Sylvester Turner nominated Ric Campo over Clyde Fitzgerald to become the next chair for the Port of Houston Authority prior to the vote. Buzbee actually stated that he had nothing against Campo, but felt that Clyde Fitzgerald, one of two men who was still left in the race to become the new chair at the Port of Houston Authority was the better of the two choices.
Ric Campo won the Second Round of Voting in the Race to become chairman of the Port of Houston Authority on Thursday, January 17, 2019
