Hall lays out case to Republican luncheon
Share this story:
Ben Hall urged members of the Greater Houston Pachyderm Club this week not to squander their votes on so-called Republican candidates in the race for Mayor.
“There are simply not enough Republicans inside the city to get Bill King or Steve Costello into a runoff, Hall told the crowd. “I am a fiscal conservative and the only one of the candidates to oppose the bathroom ordinance. And I am the only conservative candidate who can build a coalition of Republicans, Democrats and independents.”
Even the recent survey of a few voters by the Houston Association of Realtors proves King and Costello can’t win. Political scientists say the survey is flawed because it ignores half the potential minority vote and exaggerates Anglo votes.
Even with that curve, neither King nor Costello make a runoff.
Labels don’t tell the story.
Republican Steve Costello supports the bathroom ordinance and orchestrated the illegal rain tax on Houston homeowners.
Bill “Waffle” King can try to fool folks with his sudden fiscal conservative rebirth, but when he wrote a book he didn’t name it “Conservative to the End,” he named it “Unapologetically Moderate.”
King refuses to say how he will on the bathroom ordinance and supports sanctuary city policies. That’s a conservative?
“Do you want to be stuck with another liberal tax raising Mayor with the same agenda as Mayor Parker?” We don’t.
The Hall campaign asks all Republican voters to think strategically when they go to the polls.
Which conservative voice can put together the coalition needed to win a runoff?
There is only one and that is Ben Hall.
