Hello to Mayor Parker

12 12 2009

With more than 99% of the vote counted, Parker wins the election!

It has been a long, tough battle.  Parker has actually been running for 12 years and now faces the tough challenge of governing.  As well, she faces a City Council that has changed so much with these election results.

With 99.86% reporting, Parker wins the election with 53%+.  Houston proves to the world that we are a progressive, 21st century city. 

Along with Parker, we will have an African-American City Controller, Ronald Green.  And our first-ever Vietnamese Council Member has been elected – Al Hoang in District F. 

Hello World!  Welcome to Houston, Texas – a city that reflects your future from our City Hall.
