For The City w/ Houston Mayoral Candidate Chris Hollins

On this week's episode we are speaking with Houston Mayoral Candidate, Chris Hollins on why he is running for mayor, changes he will make in the city and the power of your vote.

Chris Hollins has shown what local government can achieve when new ideas and accountable leadership are met with real purpose. Chris led the 2020 elections effort in Harris County as County Clerk and gained national acclaim for protecting and expanding voting rights for 2.5 million Houston-area voters during the most important election in our lifetime. His innovations – which included drive-thru voting, 24-hour voting, online mail ballot tracking, and tripling the number of early voting centers–led to eye-popping record voter turnout despite the ongoing global pandemic. If you know Chris, you know he is Houston through and through. “I love this city,” says Chris. “Houston raised me.”

“When I envision our future, I see the safest major city in America with the strongest local economy. I see a city where my children are valued for who they are and what they can contribute, not based on the color of their skin, who they worship or who they love. I see the best city in America to live, work, and raise a family.

“And I see a city that never goes backward. That’s the Houston I know – always forward.”
