While weâre a month away from a local election, including a mayoral race, many political eyes are transfixed on Election Day 2014. Thatâs when a gubernatorial election will be held to replace incumbent Rick Perry, who previously announced he will not seek another term in office. The plot thickened Thursday, when State Senator Wendy Davis officially threw her hat in the ring to run for Governor.
On this edition of Houston Matters, we discuss the political implications of Davisâs announcement, and what it may signal for efforts by folks at Battleground Texas to turn the Lone Star state blueâ¦and efforts among the GOP to keep control of the office of Governor, as Attorney General Greg Abbott seeks to succeed Governor Perry.
Also this hourâ¦from the “Matt Schaub burger” to a downtown Houston skyscraper for sale to hawking mattresses from a hospital bed, we discuss âThe Good, The bad, and The Uglyâ in Houston news this week.
Andâ¦in honor of Space City â and since furloughed NASA workers will probably spend the afternoon watching the new film Gravity â weâll discuss how successfully Hollywood has portrayed the experience of being in outer space.
