Houston, Texas – In the dynamic landscape of Houston’s political scene, the spirit of bipartisanship is put to the test as the primaries approach. Esteemed public servants like Kim Ogg and Shawn Thierry stand at the forefront, navigating the complex waters where principle often clashes with party purity.

Kim Ogg: A Legacy of Justice and Fairness Kim Ogg, a figure synonymous with justice in Harris County, continues her lifelong political engagement, a journey that began under the tutelage of her father, Jack Ogg. Her career as Harris County’s leading prosecutor reflects an unwavering commitment to law enforcement and victim advocacy. Despite some intra-party criticisms for her unbiased approach to corruption, Ogg remains steadfast, driven by a personal vow to champion crime victims – a vow deeply rooted in her family's experience and her role as a mother.

Shawn Thierry: Championing Families and Diverse Voices State Rep. Shawn Thierry’s Houston upbringing and diverse family background have shaped her into a leader attuned to the needs of families, seniors, and veterans. Despite facing party critique for certain legislative choices, Thierry’s dedication to her constituents in her Texas House District remains unshaken. Her advocacy for education, small businesses, and homeowners underscores her commitment to the community’s well-being.

The Principled Stance Against Partisanship Both Ogg and Thierry, facing Democratic Primary challengers, exemplify the delicate balance between party allegiance and the duty to serve their constituents' best interests. Similarly, the integrity of Republican legislators like Briscoe Cain and Lacey Hull is under scrutiny as they grapple with the consequences of their principled stand on issues such as the impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

The Vote for Values As early voting looms (February 20 to March 1), the citizens of Harris and Fort Bend counties are called to reflect on the values that form the bedrock of their community. It’s not just a vote for a candidate but a vote for the principles that will guide Houston into the future.

Closing Thoughts In the heart of Texas, the upcoming primaries aren’t just a political showdown; they are a testament to the enduring spirit of Houston’s community, striving for a governance that resonates with integrity, diversity, and a steadfast commitment to justice.
