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.
