Derrick Broze, a Houston mayoral candidate, says his application to be on the ballot has been blocked because of a felony drug conviction back in 2005.
FOX 26's Shelby Rose spoke with the candidate about the conviction and why he's pushing to have his name on the ballot.A deadline is approaching Monday for candidates to get their name on the ballot for Houston's mayoral race.
It was an addiction in 2005 that put Broze behind bars when he was just 20-years-old. He served his time, got clean, and hasn’t looked back. FOX 26 Houston is now on the FOX LOCAL app available through Apple TV, Amazon FireTV, Roku and Google Android TV! He plans to take the issue up at city hall before the 5 p.m. application deadline for candidates Monday, noting he has received support from nearly every candidate in the race, adding, "We’re in a society where I think more and more people recognize things like the drug war ruined a lot of people’s lives. Many, many people have felonies now for things, like in my case, that are non-violent, victimless crime with no weapons, no theft or anything life that.
