Transcript | City Council Tally Victories by Beverley Clark and Sheila Jackson Lee in the 1989 Houston City Council elections increased the number of councilwomen to four. Clark, a little-known educator, defeated incumbent Position 1 Councilman Jim Westmoreland by more than 20,000 votes. Clark received endorsement from Mayor Kathy Whitmire, after the press raked Westmoreland for suggesting to a Houston Post reporter that Houston Intercontinental Airport be renamed "Nigger International." Westmoreland made the comment as the council was considering renaming the airport after the late Congressman Mickey Leland. Westmoreland was the first incumbent councilman to go down to defeat since Eleanor Tinsley defeated Frank Mann in 1979. Lee, a municipal court associate judge, defeated Le- onel Castillo, the former commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in a runoff election for the at- large Position 4 seat. Clark and Lee joined Chris- tin Hartung and Tinsley on the council. Male members of the council are Larry McK- askle, Ernest McGowen, Vince Ryan, Rodney Ellis, Frank Mancuso, John Good- ner, Dale Gorczynski, Ben Reyes, Jim Greenwood and Judson Robinson.-Ed Huber THE GREAT DEBATE -Mayor Kathy Whitmire and Fred Hofheinz address key issues at one of several debates along campaign trail.
