Run-off elections being held on Saturday

  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Tomorrow, four Houston city council races will finally be decided and like the original election in November, voter turn-out for the run-off election is expected to be dismal.

District A incumbent, Brenda Stardig is fighting to keep her seat against challenger, Civic Blub President Helena Brown.

In District B, an eight-person race has been whittled down to two to replace term-limited Councilman Jarvis Johnson. Johnson's aide - Alvin Byrd - will face non-profit director Jerry Davis.

The 10-person race for at-large position 2 seat is down to Pastor Andrew Burks and former State Representative Kristi Thibaut.

For the second time, at large 5 incumbent Jolanda Jones finds herself in a run-off for the same seat with the same person she faced 2-years ago, west side Chiropractor Jack Christie.

Polls are open for 12-hours tomorrow from 7am until 7pm.
