I wouldn't support her. Those aren't my core issues. There are a whole lot more important issues in the state. She so far seems to have a lukewarm record as mayor. Bill White was a much better mayor. He had a great record in Houston but he couldn't win statewide despite his wide appeal. She'd have a hard uphill climb to win in the primary, much less the GE.
