Election of Houston city government.
Mayor, Comptroller, 5 councilmembers at large, 9 councilmembers from districts.
Races tend to be non-competitive except when incumbent is term-limited (3 2-year terms), so nothing really exciting. Everyone will wait until 2009 when Mayor White's 3rd term is over. There are a couple of at large seats open, plus a replay of the special election for Sekula-Gibbs seat, currently held by Rick Noriega's wife.
16 Constitutional Amendments are also on the statewide ballot as Texas tries to catch up with Alabama for longest State constitution (there are currently 440 amendments). The hot-button issue will be abolishment of the office of inspector of hides and animals.
