Dear Residents,

I hope each of you had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving and had the opportunity to be with family and friends. As 2021 draws to a close, I reflect on many blessings we experienced over the last 12 months. I can't help but be grateful for the opportunity to serve the City of Houston and the residents of District E.

I am grateful to have met the people I have, to work daily with my colleagues around the council table, and to be involved in the many exciting projects and developments underway across the district. I am so proud of all the hard work, dedication, and growth our Houston Spaceport in Clear Lake has experienced this year. I am so happy to see all the road improvements projects that have been completed across District E, and I am excited to see even more road improvement projects that are still to come.

From Kingwood to Clear Lake, there are multiple developments in the works that will enhance the quality of life for residents and generate a significant economic impact, not only on District E but the city as a whole. We look forward to bringing more news about these projects and developments after the first of the new year.

It is with a heavy heart that I wish Katherine Cunningham, my Deputy Chief of Staff and member of the District E Office team for the past 6 years, a fond farewell as she moves onto the next chapter of her career. Kat has found an opportunity that she just cannot pass up and will move her closer to family. We wish her well and will miss her greatly.

Lastly, I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Please note that our council office will be closed on Friday, December 24, Christmas Eve for my staff to spend time with their families. We will be anxiously waiting to respond to your calls and emails when we return to the office on January 4.

Sincerely,
