Mel Wymore isn't the only trans person running for a city council seat on a large American metropolis in this 2013 election cycle. Jenifer Rene Pool is making her second attempt at winning a Houston City Council seat this fall by running for the City Council Position 3 At Large seat.
Translation: She's running citywide
On Thursday Jenifer's making her official campaign kickoff announcement in front of the building where the Houston trans community hopes she'll be heading to for the next two years starting on January 1, Houston City Hall.
Friends! Please join us this Thursday, July 11th at 3:00 PM in front of City Hall as Jenifer Rene Pool announces her campaign for Houston City Council At Large Position 3. Come out and support Jenifer and our community all while taking part in a truly historic moment in our City's history.If Jenifer wins she not only would become the first open trans person elected to political office in the state of Texas and the city of Houston, she would also become the first transperson elected to a city council in a municipality with a population larger than 250,000 people.
