I’m proud to have the support of 16 labor unions in this race. From my grandfather, a longshoreman, to my sister, a public school teacher, unions are central to my family’s story. I've worked to improve worker safety, raise wages, and create apprenticeship programs right here in Harris County.

This campaign is about family, community, and the fights that matter. I’ve taken on Trump, Abbott, and Paxton – and won. Now I’m running for Congress to keep fighting for TX-18: for health care, voting rights, and abortion rights.

Building generational wealth shouldn’t mean taking on generational debt. Health care is a right, and no one should go broke just because they need to see a doctor. Families in TX-18 deserve universal healthcare.

What I hear at the doors is simple: folks want to take care of their families, set their kids up for something better, save a little, and still have enough left to enjoy life. That’s not asking too much. That’s the American Dream. And it’s exactly what MAGA Republicans keep trying to take away. 1/2

We've been having incredible Block Walks in every corner of District 18. Shoutout to everyone who joined us on the Northeast side of town this morning - this is how we fight to protect our rights and win.

I’m humbled every time I see how many people are powering this campaign. That’s why I picked up the phone to thank some of our grassroots donors myself. Chip in to help us keep this momentum going, and who knows… I might just give you a call too 👀📞

Grassroots power wins elections. As we get closer to Election Day, every single door we knock is a step toward change. Join our team this Saturday from 9 AM til 11 AM and help us protect democracy by participating in it!

Been a pleasure working with other Harris County leaders like District Attorney Sean Teare in my time as County Attorney. Grateful for his endorsement!

Texans already live under 4 overlapping abortion bans. HB 7 adds more cruelty by targeting those who provide care. Reproductive care shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code. It must be protected under federal law. https://loom.ly/SABaL4E

Got my start in politics educating Black voters with HBAD, and now we are here eight years later getting endorsed by this organization. HBAD has led the charge to protect voting rights, uplift Black voices, and build real power in our communities. 1/2

Honored to earn the unanimous endorsement of Harris County Tejano Democrats. Our campaign is about bringing every corner of TX-18 together, and we’re just getting started!

The American Dream should mean that if you work hard you can build up a better life for your family and enjoy retirement. That’s worth fighting for.

Texas Rep. @genefortexas.bsky.social has always shown himself to be a courageous leader, but particularly this year in the fight against Trump and Abbott’s racist gerrymandering scheme. I admire his leadership and I am honored to have his endorsement in this race.

Whether it’s responding to cancer clusters and health issues or getting funding for natural disasters like Hurricane Harvey, we need leaders who will work to deliver for our communities. I’m committed to being that leader in Congress.

🚨 DEAD HEAT 🚨 The latest poll shows we’re tied for the lead in TX-18. The next closest candidate is 7 points back. We’ve got the momentum to win—but every single vote & every single dollar matters.

I’m not running for Congress to go to galas or be low key famous, I’m running to fight for the people of the 18th congressional district.

Our campaign has the momentum and we need to keep it up! Come join us this Saturday from 9am-11am to talk directly with voters. Sign up: https://loom.ly/a-tME-s

Gotta give a shoutout to our Fall interns. On Saturday, I was at multiple candidate forums and they held it down in the streets - knocking on doors, talking to voters across the 18th about why it’s so important to vote on November 4th. Y’all the real MVPs!

Y’all ready to kick this thing into gear? Our campaign has the people, the momentum, and the energy, so it’s only right we launch our GOTV push with a party. 1/2

The Harris County Attorney’s Office secured a court order returning 40 stolen properties to their rightful owners. A Houston couple forged deeds to steal homes, shattering trust and disrupting families. 1/2

Holman Street Baptist Church has been a fixture of Third Ward for nearly 90 years -- a guiding light for generations of Houstonians. I was honored to worship there this morning, with thanks to Pastor Murray G. Martin for his fellowship.

Texans football is back today. The last time the federal minimum wage was raised, Matt Schaub was starting at quarterback. Raise the wage. Go Texans. #HTownMade

Our democracy works best when we actually listen to the people it’s supposed to serve. I had some incredible conversations with Houstonians about the issues that matter most to our neighborhoods. 1/2

We're only one month away from the voter registration deadline for the November special election, and early voting starts NEXT MONTH. Now is a good time to check your voter registration status: https://loom.ly/NkDdh1c

I’ve been fighting Trump as Harris County Attorney and winning. In Congress, he’s going to have to fight me every single day.

Come out to talk to voters with us on Saturday from 9am to 11am! Sign up: loom.ly/cqIJOW0

Medical debt shouldn’t be a thing in the richest country in the world. Growing up, my brother had leukemia and our family was fortunate to have healthcare through our parents' military service. No one should have to choose between the light bill or their medical treatment.

When I was 13, I had a terrifying moment in a tropical storm. I’ll never forget that fear, but I’ll also never forget having my dad there with me. Here in Houston, we know storms are nothing to play with. And we also know they’re getting worse every year 🧵

Hilton Americas needs to do right by their workers, who are on strike for better wages and working conditions. Houston is watching, we are with them in this fight ✊🏾

Proud to have the support of IUPAT DC 10. You build and finish the spaces that keep Houston looking sharp. Your work deserves fair pay, safe workplaces, and respect. In Congress, I’ll fight to strengthen worker protections and the right to collectively bargain with you in mind.

Spent Labor Day weekend the right way, a barbecue with the folks who keep this city running: our unions. These men and women are the backbone of Houston. 1/2

Houston has always been a working-class city. From longshoremen at the Port, to teachers in our schools, to the folks who make our tourism industry run. Working people are the backbone of this city. 1/3

I thought I was an OG Gatlin’s customer because I been on the ribs and peach cobbler since back when they were on 19th St. But Mrs. Mary told me the real die-hards have been down since the food truck days. I had a great time hanging out with Mrs. Mary and the Gatlin’s Barbecue crew on Ella today.

I’m a proud product of public schools. And I’ll say it plain: our schools should be palaces, and our teachers should be paid like the professionals they are. Teachers ought to be able to buy a home, raise a family, and live with dignity, without working two or three jobs just to make ends meet. 1/2

My statement on Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing racist, gerrymandered maps into law.

As Harris County Attorney, I’ve taken on Donald Trump and won, I’ve taken on Greg Abbott and won, and I’ve taken on Ken Paxton and won. In Congress, I will fight for this district and win.

I always appreciate the opportunity to lay out what I plan to do in Congress, so join me Thursday at Wheeler Ave. Baptist Church for a CD-18 candidate forum. November will be here sooner than you think, I hope to secure your support now: https://loom.ly/h8YOtYU

Our campaign is continuing to gain momentum! I’m proud to have @rokhanna.bsky.social’s endorsement! Ro’s been a bold, progressive leader for economic justice, workers’ rights, and a government that actually serves the people. I’m grateful to have his support as we fight for TX-18.

Name a better pair

You’ve seen me all around the 18th. Barber shops, corner stores, my daily trip to HEB. When you send me to Congress, you know I’m not going to just disappear. I’ll still be here, listening to my constituents and responding to their needs.

What are you doing this Saturday morning? Got time to meet some neighbors, talk about this special election and the issues affecting the residents of TX-18? Join Team Menefee at Sylvester Turner Park for a blockwalk to share our campaign’s message with the community. https://loom.ly/gkQQXCU

Texas Republicans can try to divide us, but our community is too strong for that. This morning Rain Eatmon and Corisha Rogers announced that they are suspending their campaigns for TX-18 and joining Team Menefee. I am grateful to these amazing community leaders for their support.

Today’s announcement isn’t just about an endorsement, it’s about unity in Texas’s 18th Congressional District. Ebony “Rain” Eatmon and Corisha Rogers ran strong campaigns to represent our community, and I’m proud to now have their support! 1/3

Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher and I share a simple belief: Houston deserves leaders who show up, stand up, and deliver. I’m proud to have her endorsement as we take this fight for TX-18 all the way to Congress.

This morning’s Greater Houston LULAC 4967 community breakfast at El Jardin was a powerful reminder of the strength we have when we come together. 1/2

Tonight, 6–8 PM: I’m hosting a town hall to talk redistricting and what it means for our communities in TX-18—plus other key issues shaping our future. Pull up, bring your questions, & let’s talk about how we fight for a fair district that works for all of us. RSVP: ChristianMenefee.com/August15

I am deeply honored to receive the personal endorsement of Jackie Anderson, President of the Houston Federation of Teachers. Jackie is a fighter for the people—an unrelenting advocate for fairness, equity, and excellence in education 🧵

Proud to have the Oak Forest Area Democrats in our corner💪🏾 They’ve been putting in the work for years by registering voters, knocking doors, and making sure their voices are heard. We’re in this fight together. Let’s keep pushing. Let’s win this.

If the GOP guts marriage equality, it’s not just symbolic. It’s losing: -Social Security & veterans’ benefits -Hospital visits & medical decision rights -Health insurance coverage -Pathways to citizenship for your spouse -Parental rights & adoption access -Property & inheritance protections
