hank you for the opportunity to serve you and the people of District C on the Houston City Council. Since I began serving in 2006, I have thoroughly enjoyed working hard as a full-time Council Member, fighting for our neighborhoods and fundamental principles of fiscal responsibility and open governance. The work has been exhilarating, and it is hard to believe we are again in an election year. I need your help to win again in November and to continue to serve you on Houston City Council.
