Houston Mayor's Office

For more than 30 years, Dr. David Persse helped Houston care for people when they needed it most. I joined his family, friends and colleagues to celebrate his life and lasting service to our city. We remember him with gratitude and keep his loved ones in our prayers.

We owe so much to those who have served. This Veterans Day, I shared a friend's story: her son is in the Navy overseas, and she doesn't know when he'll come home. Thank you to our veterans, active-duty service members and the families who share in their sacrifices. #VeteransDay

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet with District A residents during a town hall to hear their concerns and discuss issues impacting their community.

Great meeting virtually with mayors from across Texas this morning to discuss collaboration and bipartisan partnerships ahead of the 90th Legislative Session. From Lubbock and Amarillo to San Antonio and Corpus Christi, we are working to ensure our voices are heard in Austin.

This past Tuesday during council, I had the honor of appointing Herbert Sims as the new Director of the Department of Human Resources. I would like to thank Herbert for being a perfect example of making a difference in the city of Houston. Let's Go to Work.
