| Part 1 in this series covered Greg Wythe, David Ortez and Stace Medellin. Part 2 showcased John Cobarruvias and Charles Kuffner. For Part 3, I've got Dr. Richard Murray and Nancy Sims. Prof13: Dr. Murray is a political science professor at the University of Houston and the Director of Surveying for the UH Center for Public Policy. He is the real deal; the rest of us are just pretenders! We count on Dr. Murray for his surveys, as well as his data analysis. His latest post included this: For the statistically inclined, here are some numbers from representative precincts across the city in 2003 to use for comparisons this year . . . All of his loyal readers thought, "here we go!", and we dug into his statistics about past early voting patterns. Mayoral Musings: Nancy Sims is Senior Vice President at Pierpont Communications. Prior to Pierpont, Nancy had her own public affairs and political consulting firm for 15 years. She has definitely added an expert voice to the Houston mayoral race blogosphere. Her latest post is a gem - the first in a series - An Insider's Look Into the Campaigns. I couldn't agree with this more: The way a candidate builds their campaign team and operations is a reflection of how they might govern. First up is her inside look at the Annise Parker campaign, where she has this to say: So, what does this team and organization tell us about how Parker might manage the city? Volumes. I predict that she will seek expertise where she needs it. She will be loyal and true to the voters that elect her and will likely stand by her promises. She will be a leader and inspire those who work for her to perform to the best of their abilities. She is willing to trust others to accomplish their jobs without telling them what to do every step of the way. If Parker’s campaign team is a reflection of her leadership style, Houston will be run as a finely-tuned machine. I have one more post in this series, where I will point you to the Houston mainstream media professionals who blog the mayoral race. |
