In a significant political shift, Republicans have gained control of the Houston City Council by winning 3 out of 5 seats. This change comes after voters expressed dissatisfaction with public disorder, leading to a conservative shift among Hispanic voters. The election results mark a major setback for Democrats, as Houston had previously favored Biden by 33 points in 2020. The new council members are expected to focus on law and order initiatives to address public safety concerns.
