There were uniform elections this weekend.

0:07.3

In the Democrat primary to replace John Wittmeyer.

0:13.0

Remember Wittmeyer stepped down as the senator where he had been for over 50 years,

0:20.0

leaving his seat open. That seat is sort of west of Houston, but the seat itself is still leans, well, arguably more than leans Democrat. So the two

0:39.0

candidates to replace in that Democrat primary were Jarvis Johnson with whom I served on City

0:46.8

Council. Jarvis is a black relatively young I guess he's younger than me so he's probably by now early 40s

0:58.0

There were three appraisal district seats up.

2:12.0

This gives us the opportunity to fight back against the

2:18.0

rising appraisals. This becomes incredibly important because local governments can raise more money off of you,

2:29.2

considerably more money. They can raise your taxes without ever technically raising your tax

2:35.2

rate. So they will say they didn't raise taxes. And you say, but I'm writing a bigger check.

2:43.0

And the reason is, they keep appraising or they assess your home for a higher appraisal year after year.

2:54.0

Well, you want your home to increase in value
