Houston attorney (D) and former council member (D) face off in special election

Houstonians are one step closer to finding out who will take over the City Council At-Large 4 seat.

Former City Council member and one-time mayoral hopeful Dwight Boykins and Houston attorney Alejandra Salinas are in an ongoing runoff to fill the spot vacated by Dr. Letitia Plummer.

Plummer resigned from her council seat in July to launch her bid for Harris County judge. She remains on the horseshoe, however, and will until December.

Salinas collected 21 percent of the vote to Boykin's 20 percent in the Nov. 4 general election, sending them to a Dec. 13 special runoff. Salinas led in early voting and Election Day tallies, while Boykins received more mail-in votes.
