Who's Your City Council Overlord?

Finding Your Council Cosmic Overlord
First things first, you gotta figure out which district you’re in. It’s like being sorted into a Hogwarts house, but with less magic and more potholes. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. The City of Houston has a handy tool for that. Just head over to their website and input your address. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure, but with less excitement and more bureaucracy.
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.
Pro Tip: If you're one of those people who loves a good old-fashioned paper map, you can probably find one at your local library or grocery store. Just don't get lost on the way.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Getting to Know Your Council Critter
Once you've figured out your district, it's time to meet your council member. Think of them as your local superhero (or supervillain, depending on how your potholes are looking). You can find their contact information on the city's website. Or, you can always try the classic approach and just knock on their door. Just kidding, don't do that.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

How to Make Your Voice Heard
Your council member is supposed to represent you. So, don't be shy! If you've got a problem, or an idea, or just want to chat about the weather, give 'em a call. They might not solve all your problems, but at least you'll feel like you've done your civic duty.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Remember: Your council member is a human being, just like you. They probably eat pizza and watch Netflix on the weekends. So, be nice!
