Let’s prognosticate!
I know I said it already, but my predictions for the two Republican State House candidate runoffs: John Frullo and Delwin Jones. I don’t think Frullo will win in November, but I think he is best-positioned within his party’s primary.
My predictions for contested City Council races: Mayor Tom Martin will be reelected, Victor Hernandez will win District 1, and Karen Gibson will win District 5. No offense meant to the other candidates in these races. I’m not going to involve myself in the City Council races at all this year, so these are my armchair best-guesses.
I also predict that John Miller will be successful in gathering enough signatures for his race for County Judge as an independent.
Also, congratulations to Councilman Todd Klein, the only unopposed City Council member in the May 2010 election. Todd’s reputation for being approachable and thoughtful is well-deserved; I’m not surprised that no one challenged him.
As of this morning, all four LISD Board member positions are unopposed as well, but I can’t really explain that one.
What are your thoughts about the pre-summertime state of Lubbock politics?
