I don't feel like googling it, but I have to wonder how long democrats have been in charge of the city.
I feel bad for those retired city employees counting on their city pensions to feed them. Pension funds are the very last things to pay into by democrat run cities, hiring their in-laws takes precedence.

Did a quick search, found this: ”Houston has voted Democratic for the more than a decade and is liberal leaning. Currently, the majority of Houston elected officials are Democrats, and the city's mayors have been Democrats for over 40 years.”

I figure that Houston got a HUGE influx of democrat voters in 2005 when they took in the 'refugees' after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. They should have never offered to take them in. Crime has climbed since then.

According to the robot:
"Here is a list of Houston, Texas mayors in descending order by the year they were elected, along with their political party affiliations:
1. Sylvester Turner (2016-present) - Democratic Party 2. Annise Parker (2010-2016) - Democratic Party 3. Bill White (2004-2010) - Democratic Party 4. Lee P. Brown (1998-2004) - Democratic Party 5. Bob Lanier (1992-1998) - Democratic Party 6. Kathryn J. Whitmire (1982-1991) - Democratic Party 7. Fred Hofheinz (1974-1982) - Democratic Party 8. Louie Welch (1964-1974) - Democratic Party 9. Lewis Cutrer (1963-1964) - Democratic Party 10. Lewis Cutrer (1962-1963) - Democratic Party 11. Lewis Cutrer (1962) - Democratic Party 12. Roy Hofheinz (1953-1955) - Democratic Party 13. Oscar Holcombe (1952-1953) - Democratic Party 14. Oscar Holcombe (1947-1952) - Democratic Party 15. Otis Massey (1943-1944) - Democratic Party 16. Cornelius W.

Walter Monteith (1931-1932) - Democratic Party
Please note that this list includes mayors up to 2016, and Sylvester Turner has been the mayor since then. Additionally, political affiliations may change over time or may not be readily available for earlier mayors."
Notice that there are gaps and other irregularities. I don't know why the robot sometimes does this.
