Election
BY JAKE MAGEE
Houston City Council, District E
What is the most important issue facing District E, and how would you address it? Crime is rising at an alarming rate throughout Houston. An increased police presence is critical in addressing this issue. I am proud to be endorsed by the Houston Police Officers’ Union, as these brave and dedicated officers are the reason Houstonians can live, work and enjoy their lives securely.
What makes you the best candidate for the job?
The residents of District E deserve a representative that will work towards meaningful solutions to their everyday problems, not start ideological fights. Through my work on both the Humble ISD school board and the Texas [Commission] on Law Enforcement, I have cultivated the skills to serve all of District E.

Public safety is the foundation upon which all other aspects of our community are built. Hiring additional police officers and firefighters, implementing more community policing programs, increasing police presence, additional funding for forensic processing, and ensuring first responders have the resources to do their jobs are of the utmost priority.
District E needs someone who will voice concerns, interact, listen and work to effect change on the issues that matter most. My extensive business expertise sets me apart and provides me with a different perspective when making key decisions to improve the lives of the people in the district.
