On Friday night, Mayor Bill White went to a dual county Fish Fry, and reviews piled in over the weekend. People noticed that Bill understands the issues and is focused on policy and results.

Castle Hills Democrats noted that Bill White, "is a three-term Houston mayor and former deputy energy secretary who brings some very strong qualifications to his run for Senate. His very high bipartisan approval ratings in Houston are a testament to his sound decision-making skills and willingness to forego petty party politics to do what's right."

Over at Swing State Project, Trowaman wrote that Bill was, "Best speaker of the night and it showed afterwards with the crowds that gathered around him. Very charismatic and as a candidate sounded like he was in a whole different world than the rest of tonight's speakers and those from 2006 and 2008 [...] White's speech, unlike what I heard from the other candidates and what I heard from previous statewide candidates focused much more on policy and results rather than "we are right and we're democrats, yadda yadda yadda, let's go win!" But that's what you get when you have a high level office holder running for a higher office."
