National Voter Registration Week is here, and I want every eligible Houstonian to remember something I have believed throughout my entire career: your voice matters, and your vote is one of the most powerful ways to use it.
From September 13 through September 20, the League of Women Voters of Houston is working across our community to help Houstonians get registered and get vote ready. Their goal is to help register 1,200 new voters, and I am asking each of you to be part of that effort.
Whether you need to check your own registration, help a family member get registered, or volunteer a few hours in the community, there is a place for you in this work.

If we want stronger neighborhoods, better schools, safer communities, and a government that truly hears the people, then we must participate. Too many people fought, marched, sacrificed, and even died so that we could have a voice at the ballot box. We honor that sacrifice by using it.
Check your status. Register if you need to. Bring somebody with you. Volunteer if you can. And most importantly, do not sit this election out.
Your voice matters. Your vote matters. And our community is stronger when all of us are heard.
