HC Commissioners Court voted to give the local constables a raise that will bring their pay to an eye-watering $305,000. Sweet gig if you can get it. For those counting, this is the fourth pay raise in three years, which has effectively doubled their compensation. But it has been decades since the county redrew the constables’ precinct lines, meaning that some oversee a jurisdiction of more than 1 million residents and others have a much smaller responsibility. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/constables-pay-whitmire-credit-rating-22377370.php #Texas #TX #HarrisCo #HarrisCounty #Houston

RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/116943064952455249
If you can't donate, you may be able to serve as an #election worker.
Your local #elections department probably has information on their website on how to become an election worker.
Where I live, #HarrisCounty #Texas, you need to be registered to #vote in Harris County to work at the polls during #EarlyVoting or on #Election Day.
That said, the elections department is currently hiring supply clerks. They don't need to be registered voters in Harris County, but they do need to be high school graduates or have a GED, and pass drug screening and background checks. Also need to be able to lift 35-50 lbs.
Edited to add: The #Houston metro area is huge, and when I'm recruiting election clerks, many folks who would be interested don't live in (and thus aren't registered to vote in) Harris County. They are in Montgomery, Brazoria, Waller, etc.
The pictures below show the results of the supply clerks' work.
The first picture is the chain-of-custody materials I signed for as an election judge in the March primary. The two machines on the bottom have numbered seals that are logged. These machines scan the paper ballots. Judges from both parties sign attestations when the seals are removed on election day, and also log the seal numbers when they are re-sealed before being returned after the polls close. The black box contains the electronic tablets and wifi equipment that clerks use to qualify voters, along with stands.
The second picture is one of two equipment caddies at my location. These were delivered prior to the election and contain all the rest of the stuff that isn't part of the chain-of-custody. They are also sealed and logged. Early voting locations also get a cabinet because they need vastly more ballot paper, forms, etc.

Hype for the Future 162J: City of Katy, Texas
Overview The City of Katy is a suburban community situated just west of the City of Houston in Harris County, Texas, associated with the approximate tripoint of Harris, Waller, and Fort Bend Counties. Local amenities are scarce, as with many suburban communities, with the Katy VFW Museum and the MKT Railroad Museum specifically serving the precise local community.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/04/11/hype-for-the-future-162j-city-of-katy-texas/
