@slocumfortexas To level set, Harris county has a population of about 5 million.

2026 Runoff had roughly 165k total voters.

Dem had about 70k voters

Rep had about 95k voters

What machine?

@TexasVC @evan7257 @NoahMF Demo it for a floodable park and it’s a deal.

@evan7257 @NoahMF Count me in?

@KarthikForTexas Aside from failing schools within HISD, which I attended as a child, what does foreign policy have to do with being Harris county judge?

[Coalter Baker @CoalterBaker]

@BillKingHouston @allynwest Using entitlement communities (50k population or above in metros) in U.S. housing law might be a better measurement.

[Coalter Baker @CoalterBaker]

@KarthikForTexas 1. I don’t follow you. So, maybe?
2. Your statement about mainstream media is either hypocritical or sensational. I felt the need to point that out because the total vote numbers weren’t great, which you failed to note.

[Coalter Baker @CoalterBaker]

@evan7257 @HoustonChron Vogue photo shoots over county needs? Houstonians have lost confidence in its oft-DC-traveled county judge. The Biden Administration oversaw chaotic NEPA whiplash and a suspect lawsuit, which, quite frankly, are chief reasons that necessary flood projects were delayed.

@theSurlyBiker Aside from your use of the word “reality,” which by definition is where you would also be stuck. If you’re trying to win friends and influence people to change our reality, you may want to change the approach. A touch of realism may help with your idealism.

[Coalter Baker @CoalterBaker]

@levin86 @BillKingHouston @big_pedestrian The reality that a vast majority of people who live in the U.S. choose to drive cars? How does democracy work again?

Great visit with @Sen_Capito this week! Thank you @Port_Houston for hosting this important conversation as we continue to seek federal support and funding for the largest coastal protection effort in U.S. history 💪

@KennethRWebster “…passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason.” The Federalist papers also had warnings.

This appropriation marks Congress’s largest federal investment in the Coastal Texas Project since the project’s authorization in 2022, a milestone effort led by @TXRandy14. Funding is finalized once the bill is signed by @POTUS. Read More: https://t.co/eoi6VibJte

Our Executive Director, @CoalterBaker, shared exciting updates on the #CoastalTexasProject today during a panel discussion at the Texas Gulf Coast Infrastructure Coalition - TGCIC Coastal Forum in Galveston. We were joined by leaders from the @TXGLO, @USACEGALVESTON and Jefferson County Drainage District No. 7. The discussion focused on:

✅ Approval of two major engineering design contracts for The Gate and Beaches and Dunes features—key components of the Coastal Texas Project
💰Landmark Federal funding for Coastal Texas Project
🛠️ Regional Infrastructure improvements and ongoing port expansions
🤝 Collaborative work with local stakeholders and project partners

Thank you to TGCIC for hosting this important conversation and to everyone who attended to learn how we’re working together to protect and restore the Texas coast.

Grateful for the opportunity to spend time with Netherlands Ambassador to the U.S., @bmtazelaar this evening at a reception to welcome her to Texas and ring in the New Year! The Netherlands continues to set the global standard for flood protection and coastal-resilient infrastructure—expertise that’s especially relevant as we advance the Coastal Texas Project.

@BrittgBaker Beautifully written, per usual. I’ll unnecessarily add that not every religion, or even sect, adheres to this radical view. I hope this belief of these callow few isn’t grounded in dogma.
