At this point it's unclear who will win tomorrow's run-off election -- both candidates are neck and neck in the polls with 38 percent a piece, according to KHOU-11 news. I asked Mr. King what he thought about the poll numbers, and his chances of winning Saturday's run-off. "It's a close election," he told me, "It all just depends on who comes out to vote." The two-time mayor of Kemah is no stranger to situations like these. His experience is something, he feels, sets him apart from his opponent, Texas State Rep. Sylvester Turner.
Tomorrow, Houstonians will head to the polls and elect the next person that will become mayor of the nation's fourth largest city. When they do, Bill King hopes they have him on their minds. I recently spoke with the former Mayor of Kemah, and he had a lot to say about what he is prepared to do as the city's next mayor, if elected

Sylvester Turner wants to be the next mayor of Houston, and his pedigree would suggest that he may be capable of doing so. Turner is a Houston native who has been a member of the Texas House of Representatives since 1989, is a graduate of Harvard Law, and a University of Houston alum. He recently met with me in the midst of what I'm sure was an extremely busy schedule. The run-off election for mayor is just days away, on Saturday, Dec 12. We met in a conference room, on the18th floor of his law firm, Barnes & Turner. The view was spectacular; I could see the entire University of Houston - Downtown from the window. I learned quickly there is not much we don't know about Sylvester Turner, the politician, or as he describes it, the "public servant." Outside of his record as a Texas State Representative, and over the course of his third campaign for Houston mayor, Turner has participated in nearly 70 forums and debates (one of which was recently held at UHD), spoken in public on several occasions and has released radio and television ads in the hopes of persuading the public that he is the right man for the job; not to mention his campaigns on social media platforms. Tonight the University of Houston – Downtown hosted the two men that hope to become Houston’s next mayor; ABC’s Channel 13 in conjunction with Univision-sponsored the debate. It was the first debate after the Nov. 3 elections that left Sylvester Turner and Bill King vying for the highest office in the city.
