Houston's Mayoral Election

Democrat Annise Parker made history on Saturday as she was elected Houston's first openly gay mayor. Parker, who had served as Houston's city controller for five years, beat Gene Lock with 53% of the vote in a runoff election. In recent weeks, conservative and anti-gay groups mounted a massive campaign against Parker.
