Houston should not even be considered as a Democratic Convention site unless it changes its name.

Why do you object to Sam Houston? Here are some facts https://www.biography.com/people/sam-houston-9344806
Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Houston, who'd been elected governor of Texas in 1859, refused to pledge his allegiance to the Confederate States of America. An infuriated Texas legislature discharged him of his duties.

My friends at the Harris County party have been very busy on this effort and opening their new headquarters
I would love for the convention to be here in Houston.
