HOUSTON - Houston Council Member Michael Kubosh has announced he is withdrawing from the City of Houston Controller's race due to health reasons.
In a post on his Facebook page, Kubosh said, "a few weeks ago, I began having a series of health-related issues that landed me in the hospital. Although I believe I am on the right path to recovery, it has become evident to me that at age 72, I no longer have the ability to sustain my campaign at the level required, while at the same time abiding by my doctor's orders."
