I believe I have spent enough time on these to go ahead and release them now. My list is much the same as the Tejano Dems with one exception: no endorsement in AL 5. Sharon Moses missed it by a country mile; see below for the reason.
For Mayor, Houston: Sylvester Turner (can any Turner campaign people get me a yard sign, maybe a walk list for my two precincts? Get in touch with me, please).
For Controller, Houston: Chris Brown.
For Houston City Council, District F: Richard Nguyen. This incumbent needs the most help, and the Republicans will flip the seat if Democrats don't find enough Vietnamese-speaking campaign workers to turn out his vote.
For District H: Jason Cisneroz. As mentioned before, I would prefer someone younger and more enthusiastic over someone who married into a Latino surname and is using Marc Campos as a consultant (scroll down to the end). That guy has turned into a permanent deal-breaker for me. No voy a votar por cualquiera de sus clientes. Nunca más.
For District J: Mike Laster. One of the most valuable members needed back on Council.
For At Large 1: Georgia Provost. She would be better than Mike Knox by a far cry, even if there aren't enough good reasons to elect her. A 'hold-your-nose' pick.
For At Large 2: David Robinson. CM Robinson needs to raise his profile a lot in order to avoid this runoff precariousness next time (if there is a next time).
For At Large 4: Amanda Edwards. Your best choice anywhere on the ballot. If you only voted in two citywide races -- the mayor's and this one -- your ballot would pass muster with me.
For At Large 5: Neither. Here's why I'm not voting for Moses.
For HISD Trustee, District II: Rhonda Skillern Jones.
For HISD Trustee, District III: Jose Leal. Let's get rid of the homophobe on the board, folks.
As for predictions, the fate of many Democrats down the ballot turns on how well Turner's team gets out the vote. This should especially be the case for candidates on the bubble, like Laster and Provost and Robinson and Moses, perhaps even Brown in the controller's race. If Dems stay home, it could get really ugly. I don't want to think about how ugly, either.
Early voting for the Saturday, December 12 runoff election begins on Wednesday, December 2nd (that's next week) and concludes on Tuesday, December 8. It's already crunch time, folks.

Related reminder: Dec. 14 is the cutoff day for filing for next March's primaries.
P send me your pct and I will send you a walk list, do you want people that voted in November or all registered voters in your pct.
I don't need to know your name, just your pct and an email address to mail it to.
I'm not all that anonymous, meme, but I don't want to post my precinct number on here (people need to work a little, at least, to find my house). Contact me please at PDiddie at gmail dot com.
