Bittersweet moment for me. Today was my last day in @nancylsims class, she’s been around in TX politics for years and has helped develop plenty of interns, staffers, and elected officials. I’m grateful for people like Professor Sims for paving the way for the next generation!

Just a reminder that some of us LIVE downtown. You all begged us to come live here. I have my heat turned way down and using limited energy.

This #HolocaustRemembranceDay lets vow to never stand by and allow hatred to reign. Let’s be the light in the darkness and choose kindness and hope. Let’s make the right choice to stand up and speak out against injustice. #NeverAgain #LightTheDarkness #Houston – at Houston, TX

The world returns to pandemic normal today. But, there is this lingering issue in Georgia-control of the U.S. Senate. Do you predict a winner?
Happy New Year and welcome to 2021. My goal is to Tweet more this year.

Now more than ever, our medical professionals continue to fight on the front lines. I am grateful for the work they do each day and for ensuring each of us continues to live healthy lives. To our physicians, thank you. Thanks for being there for everyone. #NationalDoctorsDay

Earlier this month, @SylvesterTurner approved @FireChiefofHFD’s request to raise @HoustonFire cadet salaries from $28K to $36K — their 1st raise since ‘01, per HFD. Cadet pay isn’t subject to collective bargaining & starting FF salary is still $40K, well below other big TX cities
