Former Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins

You remember Chris Hollins.

Chris led the 2020 elections effort in Harris County as County Clerk and gained national acclaim for protecting and expanding voting rights for 2.5 mil- lion Houston area voters during the most import- ant election in our lifetime.

Today, Chris is calling for Houstonians to defend democracy once again by voting in the November election. Now more than ever, Houston's progress depends on your vote.

How did we get here?

Thanks to Hollins' leadership in 2020, Harris County became ground zero in the national debate against voter suppression.

Chris' innovation-drive-thru voting, 24-hour voting, online mail ballot tracking, and tripling the number of early voting centers-led to record-breaking voter turnout despite the pandemic and harsh opposition from Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton.

Hollins no longer serves as Harris County Clerk, but Houston continues to face challenging times. That's why Chris Hollins is calling on you-on all of us-to exercise the most fundamental right in our democracy, the right to vote.

About Chris Hollins

Chris Hollins is running for Mayor of Houston in the November 2023 election.

“I love this city,” says Chris. “Houston raised me. And more importantly, it’s the city where my wife Morgan and I chose to raise our family.”

Chris believes that we can be the safest major city in America with the strongest local economy. We can invest in the limitless potential of every child, and value them for who they are. We have the ingredients to top every desired destination list for aspiring entrepreneurs and growing families.

Chris and his wife Morgan live in Houston's Third Ward with their daughter Vivian and their son George. The Hollins family attends Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.

His father, George, served 34 years in the Houston Police Department, and his mother, Christie, managed a career as an administrative assistant while raising Chris, his two sisters, and more than 20 young foster children. Chris has served as a mentor to youth for over 20 years and has been a Big Brother for over a decade.

Today, Chris serves as a volunteer member of the METRO Board of Directors, where he is helping to oversee METRO's $1.3 billion budget, shaping its $7 billion expansion plan, and leading its full transition to renewable fuels by 2030.

Chris is active in his church and civic club, and he serves on the boards of Innerfaith Ministries for Greater Houston and the East Downtown TIRZ (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone).
