| Info | Houston was elected to the New Mexico Senate in 1976 as a Democrat and changed parties in 1985 after working with Republicans to thwart a tax hike backed by then-Gov. Toney Anaya. He served in the Senate for 16 years – earning a reputation as a political and fiscal conservative – and held the powerful position of Senate president pro tem for two years.
In 1994, he was elected as District 5 Bernalillo County Commissioner, a position he would hold for eight years. A prominent attorney who lobbied for the private prison industry after leaving the Legislature, Houston also ran twice for governor, in 1982 and 1990, and once for lieutenant governor.
