Rodney Ellis HARRIS COUNTY COMMISSIONER, PRECINCT ONE

Dear Neighbor, I grew up in Sunnyside. My first political act was protesting the Sunnyside Dump with my mom. I knew that dump was put in our neighborhood for a reason. I didn’t know the term then, but today, we call it environmental racism. That injustice has fueled my focus on inequality and social — including today’s fights for equity in justice ever since flood recovery and prevention. I’m proud to have earned the support of Mayor Sylvester Turner, Congressmembers Sheila Jackson Lee, Al Green and Sylvia Garcia, the Houston Chronicle and many more who have joined me in the fight for better health care, more economic opportunity, criminal justice reform, and DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY environmental and climate justice. ELECTION: Tuesday, March 3. I hope you will join our movement too, by honoring me with your vote. You can vote early now through Friday (February 28).
