The Houston Chronicle has an article where Abbie Kamin is seeking to be appointed as Interim County Attorney. She has lined up some heavy hitters to support her appointment.
The in-group, without exception, wants to be the choosers of who will wield power, and to keep the people they want in power, as with the possible appointment. Whoever is appointed will have a significant advantage over anyone who decides to run for that position. If someone must be appointed, make it an interim appointment only and require them to promise not to seek the office. She certainly seems qualified, probably much more than the guy who was there for over a decade, Vince Ryan, in my opinion.
As the Witcher would say, hMh!
Houston City Council Member Abbie Kamin is garnering support to potentially be chosen by Harris County leadership as the new interim county attorney as they contend with a potential opening.
Kamin has gathered a list of nearly 60 elected officials, labor organizations, faith leaders and community leaders who are supporting her “appointment … as Interim County Attorney,” according to a document obtained by the Houston Chronicle.
Among the officials on the list are U.S. Rep. Lizzie Fletcher, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare and Minority House Leader Gene Wu.
… Rumors about Kamin’s interest in the position have been swirling since current County Attorney Christian Menefee filed to run to represent Houston’s 18th Congressional District, a seat left vacant following former U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner’s death from health complications in March.
A permanent county attorney will eventually be chosen by the voters in the 2026 election.
