City Hall was very festive on a beautiful Tuesday as a crowd of Peter Brown and Annise Parker supporters came together to hear what had been rumored through Twitter and Facebook:  Peter was endorsing Annise.  And, so it was.  Said the At-Large Position 1 Councilman, “On Dec. 12, my family and I will be voting for Annise Parker.”

When questioned about his support, Brown also added that he was proud to have already voted for Annise Parker six times.

Asked about stadiums and museums, Parker reiterated that her commitment is to ensuring that the City’s basic services–trash, flood control, HPD/HFD–are effectively provided.  Obviously, this is what Houstonians worry about most.

Parker released this statement:

As you can imagine, this is incredibly exciting news for our campaign! I’m honored by his endorsement – Councilmember Brown has dedicated his life to improving the quality of life in Houston and I look forward to working together with him to lead Houston forward.

This endorsement provides Parker an expanded base to tap for volunteers, individual donors, and especially votes.  Personally, I’m glad that the endorsement came a week after the election as it also provides Parker’s campaign with added fuel in this race to the finish.

And for all my Annise Parker readers, you’re invited to join the Hispanic Leadership Council.
