Gion Christopher Thomas
I've been deeply immersed in Houston politics, contributing my efforts in various capacities. I've served as a dedicated volunteer at the Houston Urban League, and a committed staffer for the Beto O'Rourke campaign. My roles have spanned from grassroots activism to more strategic positions like campaign management. To enhance my skills, I pursued formal training and obtained a B.S. from Texas Southern University and a Certificate from the Harvard Kennedy School, specializing in Policy.
