Youth Voter Engagement is a big focus for us as we head towards the November General Election! We had a wonderful time presenting to GenHTX today and getting inspiration from the amazing work other orgs are doing in Houston π€πΌπ€πΎ #lwvhouston #houstonvoter #harrisvotes
When John Whitmire became Houston mayor, he vacated his office as the District 15 State Senator. A special election is being held May 4th to fill SD15 for the remainder of the term. Simultaneously, like other state senate races, candidates are running to be elected to SD15 for the next term. On May 28th, the Democratic Primary Runoff Election will decide who will be on the ballot in the November General Election. Make sense? π #lwvhouston #houstonvoter #sd15 #mollycook #jarvisjohnson #txlege
A new change to Instagram may limit the information you're getting about elections and other important civic engagement content.
While our League is non-partisan, our content is categorized as political and a great example of what could be prevented from showing up in people's feeds.
Sharing information is at the heart of what we do, and you can help us protect our mission by changing the settings in your account and encouraging your friends to like/follow across all platforms! β€οΈ

Thank you Mr. Hollins for recognizing our League President, Claudia Ortega Hogue! There is no shortage of people in Houston who love and appreciate Claudia, and we are so incredibly proud to have her as the first Latina leading the Houston League. Her journey as an American is inspiring, but it’s her commitment to serving others that makes her unforgettable β€οΈ
