-- If Ben Hall and Sylvester Turner make the runoff for mayor (maybe even before November), expect to see some fireworks along the lines of the Wayne Dolcefino/KTRK lawsuit which arose during the last days of the runoff almost 25 years ago (between Turner and Bob Lanier). They battled to a draw in court, with the television station and then-investigative reporter found guilty of libeling Turner, but the14th Court of Appeals reversed the jury's decision. Dolcefino is now a consultant advising Hall's campaign.
-- Chris Bell's profile in yesterday's Chronicle. Relevant passage:
I think that's a win for me, Dr. Murray.
-- Houston Matters is interviewing mayorals, with Bell and Hall already in the can and Marty McVey coming tomorrow. Kuff is logging his hours with the council candidates; here's his latest with AL4 candidate Jonathan Hansen, and links to many more. Texas Leftist is posting his candidate questionnaires also; here's his most recent with District H's Roland Chavez.
-- And a programming note: the Texas Democratic Women of Harris County kicks off their Fall Speaker Series hosting Dr. Krista Comer of Rice University (not U of H, as the graphic below shows) at their monthly meeting this evening.
Dr. Comer's topic, "Youth Politics and Third Wave Feminism", focuses on two demographics that did not turn out in 2014, and what steps might be taken to boost their participation in 2015 and '16.

"I don't see any shame in running and not winning," Bell said. "The shame should be in not caring and not trying."
