About District B Houston

District B Houston is an independent, non-partisan community guide for residents of Houston City Council District B. We explain how city government works and how residents can use it: who decides what, how elections and endorsements work, and how to get city services delivered.

What we are, and what we are not

• We are not a campaign website and do not speak for any candidate, elected official or political party.
• We do not endorse candidates.
• We do not accept payment for coverage.

How we work

• We link to official sources whenever possible, such as the City of Houston and Harris County election offices.
• We explain processes in plain language and avoid jargon.
• We correct errors promptly. If you see one, tell us through the contact page.

The neighbourhoods

District B includes historic communities such as Acres Homes and Kashmere Gardens, residential areas around Trinity Gardens and Settegast, and the commercial and airport areas to the north. Each has its own civic clubs, churches and community groups, many of them decades old. We want to make it easier for residents of all of them to take part in city decisions.
