FLOTUS during Houston visit: 'Every single vote counts'

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden encouraged Houstonians who haven’t cast their ballots to head to the polls on Tuesday, according to a report from Houston ABC affiliate KTRK. 

KTRK reported that Biden visited multiple places in the Bayou City, including Good Hope Missionary Baptist Church on North MacGregor Way. 

“It’s an honor to have you support and to fight for democracy and the future of Harris County together,” Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said in a tweet.

Per KTRK, during her visit to Good Hope, she told the congregation on how she leaned on her faith after her and President Joe Biden’s son, Beau, died from cancer in 2015. 

She additionally called for unity in the face of division. 

"Right now is the time for action … We must speak up for justice and democracy,” Biden said according to the station. "We must fight for families who are struggling. We must vote. Choosing who leads our community is one way we can live out our faith."

Houston CBS affiliate KHOU reported that the first lady and the county judge were joined by U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Houston) as they appealed for registered voters to participate on Election Day. 

“Every single vote counts,” Biden, a community college professor, said in the report. 

Hidalgo herself is on the ballot, looking to stave off a challenge from Republican nominee Alexandra del Moral Mealer.

The last time the first lady was in Texas, she caused an uproar with the Latino community, which she reportedly described “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.” 

Citing San Antonio AM radio station KTSA, Austin Journal reported in July that the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) condemned Biden’s remarks. 

“We are not tacos,” the organization said in a statement, according to KTSA. “Our heritage as Latinos is shaped by various diasporas, cultures and food traditions. Do not reduce us to stereotypes.”
