Mike Honig is originally from Brooklyn, New York. He moved to Houston in September of 1977 and has been there ever since. Mike's interests are politics, history, science, science fiction (and reading generally), technology, and almost anything else. Mike has knowledge and experience in many diverse fields, sometimes from having worked in them, and sometimes from extensive reading or discussion about them. Mike's general knowledge makes him a favorite partner in Trivial Pursuit. He likes to say that about most things, he knows enough to be dangerous. Humility is a work-in-progress.

My Current Preference for the Houston City Council District C Election

Based on my reading and my knowledge of the current endorsements, I favor Audrey Nath for District C.

Charles Kuffner interviewed her, and you can hear that interview here.

You can also see who and what groups have endorsed her and the other candidates here.

Nath has been endorsed by:

3.14 Action
Asian American Democrats of Texas Caucus (AADT)
Harris County (TX) Young Democrats
Harris County Tejano Democrats
Houston Parents & Teachers United
Houston Progressives
New American Leaders Action Fund
