What this office does
At-large members sit on the same City Council and do the same job as district members — enacting the city's ordinances, adopting and altering the annual budget, confirming the Mayor's appointments, and voting on bonds, contracts and spending over $50,000. The difference is who elects them: five of the 16 seats are elected at-large by all voters of the city, so every Houston voter helps choose all five.
Spent 34 years in law before council, including 27 years as a Harris County Assistant District Attorney. One of five council seats elected by every Houston voter, so you help choose this seat.
