Your Voice Has an Address
In moments of urgency, Houstonians ask the same question: How do i make my voice heard? Your local elected officials work for you, and reaching them is easier than you think.
Every Houstonian is represented by six council members.
One district member and five At-Large members + plus the Mayor.
Who represents you at City Hall
Houston City Council has 16 members. Eleven represent geographic districts, and five At-Large members represent the entire city. Council members serve four-year terms; the current council serves through January 2, 2028.
Your five At-Large members represent you no matter where in Houston you live — don't overlook them.

Send a Letter
Mail reaches every council office at one address. A physical letter, especially a personal one, still gets attention.
District events
Council members hold town halls, community meetings, and office hours in their districts. Follow your member's office on social media or join their newsletter to know when they're in your neighborhood.
Reaching the Mayor
The Mayor is Houston's chief executive, elected citywide, responsible for city departments, and the official who appoints the Chief of Police (with City Council confirmation). That makes the Mayor's office a direct channel for concerns about how city departments serve residents.
The Mayor's Assistance Office exists specifically to handle individual residents' concerns, coordinate responses through city departments, and take requests for city services. Its staff are also on hand at City Hall during Tuesday public sessions.
Three ways in:
