Mary Nan Huffman defeats Tony Buzbee in Houston City Council runoff election
Mary Nan Huffman has declared victory over Tony Buzbee in the Houston City Council runoff election for District 6. With 85 of 450 vote centers reporting, Huffman led with 56% of the vote compared to Buzbee's 44%. Buzbee, a prominent Houston lawyer, had the support of Attorney General Ken Paxton and former Governor Rick Perry, while Huffman retained the support of the Texas GOP and local party officials. The race became more contentious in the runoff, with Buzbee questioning Huffman's GOP credentials. Huffman, a lawyer for the House Police Officers, narrowly avoided a runoff in the initial election.
