Today, little Joaquin starts his first official job! I'm excited and nervous. I'm getting the first day of Pre-K3 feelings. I wish I had #brightwheel for his job. Kick butt, Son! Love you!

My staff attended Vietnamese Community of Houston and Vicinities' Lunar New Year event this past Sunday, which was attended by people all around Houston. District I is home to the oldest Vietnamese community in Houston, and we are excited to represent such a diverse community.

We climbed, hiked and reconnected this past week as individuals and a community. I've been re-centered and feel whole. For this, I am thankful and empowered. Thank to my wife and kids for allowing me to be on this journey and #ALFhouston for the space and opportunity.

Today was nonstop, an early morning breakfast, my day job, then 3 different stops this evening. I enjoy sharing with folks why I'm the best candidate for Houston City Council District I and what drives me to servant leadership. At my core, it's family and community that fuel me.

Wrapped up another blockwalk event! We knocked on a couple hundred doors today because of our team! I'm excited about speaking to voters about why I'm running and happy to have great volunteers helping to get my message out. #jmartinez4hou #DistrictI2023 #november2023

This morning, I received communication from @houmayor regarding a damaged blow off at Telephone and Airport. Immediately following, @HouPublicWorks leadership confirmed it was a water line currently under construction. The contractor had en route crews to address.
