Standing in the phone booth sized elevator at my hotel in NYC. Two women enter and do a double take. Mayor Parker, they ask? Houstonians!

Not food. Not art. Not sports teams. Not museums. They're wonderful. But the best thing about Houston is that we are people with heart.

RIP John Lewis. Before I was Mayor I delivered a speech from the bed of a pickup truck with him standing beside me. We were in support of striking janitors in Houston. He was gracious to everyone—but I felt completely inadequate to offer my words before his.

@AishaMoodMills The “Oppression Olympics” line has been around for awhile—whoever coined it was spot on. Troubled, however, that you felt the need to put words in Pete’s mouth he did not say.
