Hello! I am Randy Locke a candidate for Houston City Council District C 2009. Thank you reviewing our campaign website. I am single (but hopeful) and attend Second Baptist Church on Woodway Street bi-monthly, and sometimes I drive to Katy if I am late for the Woodway Street service. My family’s ancestry traces back at least 300 years in Texas and I have resided in Houston since 1980.I delayed announcing this campaign for District C because after last year’s long political season, I thought people would appreciate a break in politics. I decided to enter politics because I believe I can better represent District C than my opponent.
I have been employed in a variety of vocations in Houston where I have lived my adult life ranging from dishwasher and restaurant manager, to driving an 18-wheeled big truck. After 5 long years beginning in Fall 2002, I graduated with a BBA in Finance from the University of Houston in May 2007. I will graduate with an additional degree in Accounting from the UH system in May 2010, and currently am a Securities Trader. Timing is everything, whether the subject might be stock trading or politics.
I have lived in District C for over 8 years and have sadly watched the battle over the Ashby High-rise project in the far northeastern corner of the district. There are many other issues that we can explore. My candidacy is offering solutions and not excuses during decision making processes. Any possible solutions mentioned on the campaign website may be altered or changed so as to completely represent all the citizens of District C and make the best decisions possible for the people who live their lives in Houston’s District C according to their wishes not mine.
Thank you for your time,
Randy Locke 2009 Candidate for Houston City Council District C
