Houston City Council Republicans Could Join Republicans For Harris

8/4/2024

A "Republicans For Harris" group has been started to support Vice President Harris in her race for President.

This is an option for every elected Republican in the country including right here in Houston and Harris County.

On Houston City Council there are ten Republicans and six Republicans.

The six Republicans are Willie Davis, Julian Ramirez, Twila Carter, Amy Peck, Maty Nan Huffman and Fred Flickinger.

I watch Houston City Council meetings. These Republicans have different personas and probably some different policy views. They are not a monolith. I would not rule out that at least one of them, if not more, does not support Trump for President.

But until they make clear they don't support Trump, I don't care about sorting it out. It's not a hard ask to say you don't support a traitorous felon promising violence if he loses and dictatorship if he wins for President of the United States.

Could the bar be any lower?

Please sign the Houston Democracy Project petition to make the pledge to show up for freedom in 2024 no matter what.

The Houston Democracy Project works daily to inspire, organize and strengthen pro-democracy coalitions in Houston and Harris County.

Please share word of the Houston Democracy Project and support the effort with your contribution. If you have a question about the Project or a suggestion, please send an e-mail to [email protected]

I'm a rank & file Houstonian. I’ve volunteered extensively for Democratic candidates and causes, and served as staff for multiple campaigns. My work for Democratic campaigns has involved communications and strategy.

I’m an organizer of the Weekly John Cornyn Houston Office Protest. The Cornyn Protest team has been outside Senator Cornyn’s office each Tuesday for eight years now with one clear message: In addition to voting, we must show up physically and non-conventionally for the fights over democracy. Events have proven this assertion correct.

I'm on the Egberto Willies Politics Done Right Show every Thursday from 6 AM to 7 AM for the Houston Democracy Project segment. You can hear the show on the radio, stream it on KPFT or watch later on Egberto's YouTube channel.
