Houston, early voting starts TODAY, 10/19 through 10/30. Voting hours are 7AM to 7PM Mon-Sat and 12PM-7PM on Sun. Our democracy works best when everyone has a voice. Make a plan to vote, and encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to do the same. Election Day Nov 3!

What a perfect day at the Jensen Jubilee Fall Festival! The District H Team loved celebrating our neighbors, families, and community spirit. Thank you to Houston Northeast CDC and Pastor Smith for bringing everyone together!

Safety Never Takes a Break! I joined the City of Houston HR Department’s Risk Management Division for a safety awareness event, reinforcing the importance of creating and maintaining a safe workplace for everyone. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and every action matters.

Public safety starts with showing up and building trust. Proud to join METRO and local leaders for the unveiling of the new mobile command center at Moody Park. That’s partnership in action, bringing resources closer to our communities and keeping our neighborhoods & parks safe.

District H was happy to join our neighbors in Lindale Park to wrap up National Night Out 2026! Events like these remind us of the importance of building strong neighborhoods and coming together to make our communities safer, stronger, and healthier. Thank you to who came out!

Our District H Horizons Intern Aleeya is out talking to real Houstonians about how our weather affects their everyday quality of life. October 24th we'll be in Essex-Jensen planting 300+ trees to help mitigate some of the heat we face all year round.

Today, we broke ground at FLAMA, investing in Houston’s next generation through arts, culture, and education. Congratulations to the Liu family and the FLAMA team! Can’t wait to see what Houston’s future artists and visionaries create!

Last night myself and the District H Team attended over 20 National Night Out events across the district. We got to hang out with constituents, meet with community leaders, and connect with first responders and neighborhood resources. Truly one of my favorite nights of the year!

What if we designed our streets for people, not just cars? Proud to attend and speak at Park(ing) Day about reimagining our public spaces for stronger communities, thriving local businesses, and quality of life. Thanks to all who participated and @StrongTownsHTX for organizing!

What day is it?

Two rail-related incidents in one month demand action. We must keep pushing for safer crossings, stronger pedestrian infrastructure, and greater accountability to protect our neighborhoods.

North Lindale residents raised concerns about repeated street flooding, so we went out to see it firsthand. We found a gap in the drainage system causing water to back up. That same week, Houston Public Works was on site making the fix. Listen. Show up. Find solutions.

District H, we need you! 🌳 We’re planting HUNDREDS of trees across Eastex-Jensen—and we need volunteers to make it happen! 🌱 Plant trees at Dodson Lake Park 🌧️ Distribute rain barrels 🌳 Give away 15-gallon trees Need service hours? We’ve got you covered. Come serve with us!

Houston’s future is being built by people who believe we can lead on energy, innovation, climate, and resilience while keeping opportunity and affordability at the center. Proud to recognize Houston Energy & Climate Week and those working to build a more resilient Houston.

We brought District H together at Melrose Park for our annual Health Fair! From screenings and flu shots to nutrition information and other resources, our partners helped make care more accessible to our neighbors. Healthy communities are thriving communities!

Honored to join @ALMAAHHTX Day in Houston, celebrating the artists, cultural leaders, community members, and advocates shaping the future of and inspiring incredible work across our city and the vision for a home for Latino art & culture.

Montrose has long been a place where LGBTQ+ found belonging. These banners honor those who fought for progress and acceptance and those who aren’t here to see where we stand today. Grateful to everyone who made this happen, including @houmayor, who personally paid for them.

7 years of miles, milestones, and community. District H was honored to recognize the 7th Anniversary of Timeless Runners Houston. What started as a small group has grown into a community that continues to show up and welcome runners of all paces. Here’s to many miles ahead!
