Collapse all
|- Houston needs a modern civic infrastructure that helps people see and shape what’s happening at City Hall. Cris will work to create and strengthen the practical tools residents need — from user-friendly ways to track city projects and budgets, to clear guides on how to testify, contact decision-makers, and organize neighbors. When more people understand the system and can move through it easily, the city’s decisions become fairer, more transparent, and better connected to real community needs.
- Houston faces deep poverty and a fast-changing job market driven by gig work. Strengthening first-generation builders and small businesses is not just fair — it’s a smart economic strategy to stabilize neighborhoods and grow local wealth. Cris has advised more than 500 microbusiness owners and knows they need help that meets them where they are — in both understanding and location. On Council, she will push to take resources and know-how directly to overlooked communities, open access to city contracts, and partner with workforce programs so more Houstonians can build sustainable businesses and jobs close to home.
- Houston is a tapestry of communities — long-established neighborhoods alongside newcomers drawn to our diversity and opportunity. As the city grows and redevelops from every end, we risk losing the character, culture, and access that make Houston strong. Preservation must include more than buildings; it must protect the voices and opportunities of those who built these communities. Cris will push for engagement structures that meet people where they are — from neighborhood-based listening sessions to easy digital tools — so residents can help shape growth, keep history alive, and ensure change benefits everyone across the city.
