And we won a countywide appraisal disitrict seat outright and have a wide lead going into the runoff for the other 2 so…
The demolition of the Republicans in Harris County on election day can't be understated.
Harris (Houston) has 24 seats that include some part of it. Just 4 are now held by Republicans. Before Nov. 3 they had 9 and a decade ago 11.

life becomes so fun when you start treating random strangers like homies youve known since you were 7. everyone is so shy, nerd necking staring at there shoes. when you rip people out of their zombied state of shyness you can literally see their brain get watered for the first time in 10 years.

Houston’s $7.5M housing program served 158 households. Staff reported 54 exits: 49 for noncompliance or other reasons, four into permanent housing.
Those are exits—not all 158 households. Where did people go, and who is still housed?
Watch the explainer.

HCC trustees asked for more flexibility in their conference rules. The response: remove the locally added provisions and keep the model policy.
Then came the vote.
Watch the November 4 discussion.

No more METRO contracts without answers about its finances?
That’s the warning. Then come more contract approvals.
Watch the October 14 and 29 meetings side by side. The question is simple: what changed?

Houston already had a water route. In 1911, local bonds and federal funding set out to deepen it. Crews signaled completion in September 1914. Houston celebrated the opening on November 10. Follow the water and the money: localinsights.ai/houston-shi…

Texas families deserve honest prices and companies that keep their promises. When you pay for insurance, your claim shouldn’t become a second job. Let’s make Texas the safest and most affordable place in America to raise a family.

Across the state, measures considered small because of their ballot placement will have an outsized impact.

I was at the bank yesterday when a woman in her mid-20s started talking about the midterms. I asked what motivated her to get to the polls.
She said the American Dream she was told as a child isn’t something she can reach. She did everything right — worked hard, went to college, got a degree, and landed a good-paying job in her field.
That good-paying job still isn’t enough. She can’t buy a home. She still lives with her parents. She’s thrown out the idea of ever being a homeowner because she truly can’t afford it.
When she thinks of government, she just wants change. Doing everything “right” just isn’t enough now.
Hard work should still lead to a home, a family, and a future. If Republicans want to win again, we have to fight for that American Dream — and make it real for people like her. This loss is a wake-up call. Let’s answer it.
It’s because he had the best commercials
Rep. Mano DeAyala somehow survived the Democratic wave easily despite being in one of the target seats.
Here's what I think happened: He had an endorsement from the @houstonchron editorial board.

Thank you, Lacey Anne-Leigh Hull
It has been the greatest blessing and honor to serve this district and the people of Texas since 2020. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in so many lives during my time in the Legislature. From the laws I passed and championing issues that give a voice to the voiceless, to securing funding for our district and helping constituents navigate challenges and find solutions, I am thankful for the opportunity to have served.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of my volunteers and supporters who poured their time, energy, and hard-earned money into my campaigns. I am especially grateful to everyone who has stood beside me since I first ran in 2019. Your support and belief in me have meant more than you know.
To my incredible district and Austin staff, thank you for your loyalty, dedication, hard work, and your heart to serve others. Public service is a team effort, and together we accomplished so much to improve the lives of Texans.
This job requires more sacrifice than most people realize. Thank you to my family for supporting me through it all. I could not have done this without you.
Congratulations to Tyler Smith on his win. I called Tyler to congratulate him, and I wish him the very best as he takes on the responsibility of serving our district. Please join me in praying for him as he begins this new role.
I know that God has a plan. His hand is in everything, and He is always in control. Our identity is not found in the titles we hold or the positions we occupy. It is found in Him alone. I am grateful for this chapter, proud of what we accomplished, and look forward to what God has planned next. I’ll see y’all around. God is always good!
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
“And each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 Peter 4:10
Am I on the fence about voting? I guess you learn something new about yourself every day
Today is the day.
@DestinSensky has assured all of us he has the courage and conviction to vote today.
@Charlesblain is on the fence but might vote if none of you ask him.
And a friend from church who rarely votes is on their way to vote right now.
Let’s go Texas!
