We did it because you organized. Today, Council adopted my proposal to hold 6 PM Public Session the final Tuesday each month, so teachers, nurses, small business owners, and many more can finally be heard without missing work or family time. This is government that works for you.

Yesterday, I had a great conversation with @HoustonPubMedia Hello Houston about my proposal to move the last City Council Public Session each month to 6pm so more Houstonians can have their voices heard. Council vote is coming up on July 9. What do you think?

Due to severe weather, today's Public Safety Round Table in Independence Heights is postponed. We will reschedule, as having an open discussion about what we can do to keep District H neighborhoods safe is fundamental to what we do.

After years of waiting, East Sunset Heights is one step closer to its new park!. City Council just affirmed $2.4M to turn the old METRO site into green space with a playground, trail & more. Grateful to neighbors for your persistence — proud to help make this happen! 🌳🛝

Spent time with our seniors at Navidad en el Barrio at Ripley House—shared a meal, caught up with neighbors, danced a little, and helped judge the dance contest. Grateful to everyone who makes this celebration possible. It’s what community is all about.
