Parker leads Plummer by double digits in Democratic primary runoff for Harris County judge, poll finds https://t.co/rZ62PvcEoo

[Letitia Plummer for Harris County Judge @letitiaplummer]

Sorry, y'all.

Had to take the conversation off Twitter and directly to the people.

I'm ready to fight for Harris County.

@mmorris011 @isaacyu_ @HoustonChron @Thelastlomax Parker was for the HISD takeover, silent on ICE, went to the Israeli independence gala even after a genocide, supported Ogg/Whitmire and videos that made this clear got 91,000+ and over 4000 likes.

Yall can try and conceal news from folks but social media allows them to learn.

[John Lomax V @Thelastlomax]

So Annise Parker, who openly said she was taking money from county contractors, outraised Letitia Plummer by nearly 10-to-1.

Marty Lancton also raised nearly a half-million iirc, with some from contractors.

I hope campaign managers are doing some reflection.

[Neil Aquino-Houston Democracy Project @aquino1_neil]

Elected Democrats need to endorse Plummer. It can start with 4 Democrats on Houston City Council on 2027 ballot for re-election—Castillo, Martinez, Panzarella & Salinas. Salinas likely will.

Don’t ask for Dem support in 2027, if you are not active on campaign trail in 2026.

🗳️ A political upset just reshaped Harris County’s future.

Former Houston City Council Member Letitia Plummer defeated former Houston Mayor Annise Parker in one of Texas’ most closely watched runoff races, signaling a possible shift in Democratic leadership toward a younger, more progressive generation.

The race was expected to go the other way after a recent poll showed Parker with a sizable lead: https://t.co/JEcBox3gpn

History made.

Congratulations to our endorsed candidates for their victories in the primary!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Massachusetts is now the first state to certify a rideshare driver union after granting Lyft and Uber drivers' collective bargaining rights.

This is the largest new private-sector union in over 85 years.

70,000 workers are now represented by the App Drivers Union.

Time must be made up so voters do not lose the chance to exercise their right.

[Rilwan Balogun @KPRC2Rilwan]

BREAKING: All Fort Bend County polling locations are down. A bad file was uploaded which has shutdown the system.

It’s not clear when it will be up and working.

Election Administrator Chase Wilson tells me, “it did not sacrifice the integrity” of the election. @KPRC2

[Jaison Oliver @oJaison]

I encourage everyone to complete this survey. I'd also encourage you to remember that no department aside from HPD and Fire takes up more than 3% of the budget.

So if you want more money for drainage, health, libraries, etc. let the city know!

I am horrified by the violent threats made against our Muslim and Jewish neighbors at Houston's Ismaili Center.

Every Houstonian deserves to worship freely without the fear of attack. I will work closely with district leaders to support their working to keep congregations safe.

Congratulations @JoeforHouston !

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

The @GregAbbott_TX campaign is peddling in filth because his record is trash:

✏️Schools in crisis;
📈Property taxes up 75%;
🔌Most unaffordable electricity;
😷Most uninsured children;
💧1st major American city to run out of water.

That’s Abbott’s record. He owns it. Underaged pics of me doing whatever their disturbed imaginations envision won’t change that.

Great day to make @JoeforHouston your next Houston City Councilman!

Safe streets, affordable housing, clean government!
