The South Park Area Community Service, Inc. (SPACS) invited District D candidiates Dwight Boykins and Georgia Provost out for the last hoorah before the runoff election that will be held on December 14, 2013.

In the general election District D had 12 candidates running for the City Council seat. Boykins and Provost inched out the most votes but not enough to win the seat outright.

SPACS gave the candidates one final chance to reintroduce themselves to the people of District D as they held a forum at St. Philip Neri Parish Hall on December 3, 2014.

Bethel Institutional Baptist Church Choir performed two songs before the forum started.

Provost was a no show, as a supporter, gave his apologies stating Provost had a pressing family emergency. Boykins went on to face questions from three panelist and the constituents he wants to represent. Panelist came from the Houston Chronicle, Cindy George, The Houston Sun, Myra Griffin and KTSU Radio’s Larry Don Johnson. The moderator was, The Houston Sun publisher, Dorris Ellis and the timekeeper, Judge Zinetta Burney.

After introductions were made Boykins was allowed to introduce himself before the questions about infrastructure of the streets in District D were addressed as well as jobs, Bokyins Second Chance stance and of course the senior citizens.

After two hours of questions, Boykins said his thank you and asked again for votes.

At- Large Position 2 Councilman Andrew Burks, who too is in a runoff race against David Robinson came out to speak to voters and concluded the forum by saying, “I can only do for you if I’m in office. If I’m out there is nothing I can do.”

All voters were urged to go out and vote again for the runoff election.
