It Is Election Day-Houston Democracy Project Full Steam Ahead

11/7/2023

Today is Election Day in Houston, in Harris County & elsewhere.

It's been a lot of fun thinking out & writing the Houston Democracy Project.

I've enjoyed and learned from numerous conversations with candidates, elected officials, activists and, most importantly, thoughtful rank & file Houstonians who care about democracy. The Project has made a difference and been successful.

I'm looking forward to the Houston municipal runoffs and everything ahead. (Well...I'm not sure I'm really looking forward to it all. But I'm ready to go.)

Thank you to everyone for the kind words, suggestions and input, web traffic and financial support since the Project began in late May.

The Houston Democracy Project will go at least through Election Day 2024. Let's please find our way to one another and fight to be free.

I'm Neil Aquino.

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.

I am the 2024 Barbara Cigainero Volunteer of the Year Award recipient the Houston LGBTQIA+ Political Caucus. I have a political science degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati and ran a Cincinnati City Council office.

I read a lot of books and follow baseball closely.
