A memory of Houston is a memory of the sprawl. Most days we are on the road. The sun’s glare filters through the windshield. Trucks hurtle around us. From Westheimer and Gessner onto the I-10, the Katy Freeway, the Sam Houston Tollway. The air is hot and dry in the summers, cool and pollen-rich in the fall. The Greater Houston area is 35 times the size of Singapore and contains seven million people. Texas is 27 times the size of Greater Houston.

Given that the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) has not yet been convened, a September election, like some predicted, is now looking unlikely. If history is any guide, we can expect a roughly three-month gap between the EBRC’s report and polling day. The GE must be called by November 2025. We’ll keep you posted.
