Googling for District F

District F candidates aim to reduce heavy crime in their community
One of the oddities of District F is that, despite being a Democratic district, it has some of the characteristics that are stereotypical of elections of the past: that Republicans show up to vote in every election, and Dems show up to vote for the big ones. So Ron Kirk pulls down 55% of the vote in the precincts that make up this region, yet we have two Republicans in the runoff to replace another Republican councilman. The district also has a pretty big divide over homeowners and apartment dwellers (full disclosure: I rent). Home owners tend to be supportive of the GOP, apartment types tend to favor the Dems. Home owners are more stable residents, living in the area for years ... apt. dwellers come and go within a year in many cases.
So it is, that Terry McConn (home-builder, Little League coach, son of ex-Mayor McConn) has this to say:

District home is where the artifice is, opponent says
There's also the issue of Khan's actual residence, as he does not own a home in Dist. F. At present, he rents an apt. while living elsewhere. Not the biggest deal in the world, really. But McConn is milking it. It is curious how Khan will find an upgrade over a $2.3 million home in Piney Point somwere around Alief, though. Furthermore, the article gives another reason why Terry McConn isn't worth crap: Alan Blakemore is working for him. Shoulda known.
