Woot!
That's all. I was born in Houston, and now, finally, it has made me proud!

Yay!
From all accounts I have read, her opponents attacked her on the basis of her (homo)sexuality, not her credentials - since she was, reportedly, an excellent administrator and a very strong candidate.
Well done, Houston.

I was watching this election... and honestly was very worried that the opponent attacks might just work.... I am so happy to see that those low ball tactics were not rewarded by the electorate.
Based on her experience, she seems to be a great politican and should be good for all Houstonians!
