Help Annise Parker Become Mayor of Houston!

Phonebank tonight in Austin.

Equality Texas is asking you to volunteer your time to help elect Annise Parker as the mayor of Houston.

Don't live in Houston? Doesn't matter. Here's why you should get involved:

  • Annise is the best candidate for the job. 
    • Annise Parker has what it takes to manage Houston through tough economic times.
    • As City Controller, Annise directs Houston’s financial investments and manages billions of tax dollars. Because of her fiscal responsibility and leadership, Houston is stronger today than other major cities that gambled their futures on risky investments and irresponsible budgets.
    • Annise has a plan to create jobs, secure Houston’s future as the headquarters for new energy development, and maintain fiscal responsibility. As Mayor, Annise will fight to create good-paying jobs using national stimulus program and local funds – and to make sure the paychecks go to Houston families.
    • At every step of the way, Annise has worked hard to make Houston better and improve the quality of life for Houstonians.
  • Additionally, Annise Parker would be the first openly lesbian mayor of any of the 25 largest cities in the United States. 
  • Her election would demonstrate that sexual orientation does not matter to Texans when electing qualified public servants. 
  • Annise Parker's election to office is a critical opportunity to advance equality in Houston and in Texas.

Annise is tied at the top of the Mayor's race despite being outspent 2 to 1 by a self-funded candidate.  Now, however, Annise needs all the help she can get!

Early voting has begun and we are in the final days.  If you have been on the sidelines, now is the time to act.  Even if you don't live in Houston you need to be part of this critically important effort.

If you live in Austin:

  • Volunteer to Phone Bank for Annise TONIGHT, October 27th from 6pm to 9pm at the Equality Texas offices in Austin.  Sign up by emailing Randall@EqualityTexas.org  BRING YOUR OWN CELL PHONE!  Pizza & refreshments for the crew.
