Peter Brown Knocking On Doors For Parker

Peter Brown has a Thanksgiving message for his supporters and it boils down to this: Join me in voting for Annise Parker for Mayor. Note the paragraph where he talks about blockwalking for Annise this past weekend in Kingwood and in the East End. That's no joke - I was was blockwalking for Annise this past weekend, as well, and Peter Brown and a big team were definitely in both places. Brown is doing something that's rare for a defeated candidate  - he's throwing his efforts and resources 100% behind an opponent who defeated him. I know it resonated with the Peter Brown voters I talked to when I shared what all Brown is doing to help Parker get elected. 


Here is Brown's Thanksgiving email in full: 


Dear Friends and Supporters,

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to thank all of you for supporting my vision for an even better Houston. Although we did not prevail, we worked hard and made a real difference. Now, after lengthy discussions with the two remaining candidates, I am wholeheartedly supporting Annise Parker as our next mayor. I urge you to do the same.

Annise Parker, I am convinced, will pursue the quality of life agenda important to us all. Just as she has done for the past 12 years as a Council Member and City Controller, Annise will continue to make government more efficient, to reduce crime, create jobs, and deal effectively with traffic, air quality, infrastructure and flooding. She knows how to get results at City Hall, and has the experience and the track-record we can count on.

This past weekend I block-walked for Annise in the East End and in Kingwood, talking to voters about the important issues facing our city. This experience, like many others, confirmed that Annise and I share a clear vision for our great city. Therefore, I hope that you will support Annise Parker, by going to her website where you can make a donation, or sign up to volunteer. As well, I urge you to email your friends to support Annise.

This is an important election – about a real commitment to a more prosperous, greener and livableHouston, with a commitment to open, transparent government. I am excited about working with her as our next mayor to make Houston an even better place to live, work and raise a family. Please consider working with us to make Houston even better.

Again, I am deeply grateful for your support. My wife Anne and I wish you and your family a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.

Sincerely,


P.S. As I continue to serve the City, your ideas and guidance is always greatly appreciated. You can always reach me at Peter@PeterBrownforHouston.com
