Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said while she feels a great sense of accomplishment being elected the first African American female to the clerk’s office, she wants her success to inspire others to consider running for public office.
“It feels amazing, but now that I’ve made history…we must continue a pipeline to ensure young African Americans and others can see that this is possible,” Hudspeth said.
Her ascension to this elected position came after working in county government for more than 15 years. Before this role, she was the first African American female chief deputy in the clerk’s office.
