A battle is brewing in northwest
Harris County between 12-year in-
cumbent Debbie Riddle and political
newcomer and local businessman
Tony Noun.
For the past few days, both candi-
dates have been stationed at the poles
welcoming early Republican voter.
Now, with election day fast approach-

biggest issues in the district is keeping
out low-income housing, which she
said attracts crime, crowds schools,
brings down property values and
slows business development.

velopers targeting our area, said Rid-

sentatives or senators can provide
positive or negative points depending

come a haven drugs, crime, she said.
There are issues with overcrowding
schools. School districts are protest-
ing them and it puts a strain on law
enforcement.
However, in the last session when
Sen. Brian Birdwell proposed a bill
taking away represtatives ability to
give negative points, Riddle was
among the representatives to oppose

basketball with friends; and
the next minute, his heart
stopped cold.
Unconscious on a local fit-

Brown, in all probability,
faced death, a local doctor
said. But thanks to fast action
in the race against time by
