New Houston City Secretary, Pat Jefferson Daniel, makes history as first African-American to be appointed (City of Houston)
HOUSTON – The new Houston city secretary has made history as being the first African-American to be appointed after being selected by Mayor Sylvester Turner.
Houston native Patricia Jefferson Daniel will succeed beloved city secretary Anna Russell, who died last year after serving that role for nearly seven decades. Daniel worked closely with Russel for years.
“No one can ever fill Anna Russell’s shoes, but I am honored to follow in her footsteps to support Mayor Turner, City Council, and serving the people of Houston,” Daniel said. “My goal is to oversee an efficient and responsive office. I also hope to move forward on ideas to modernize our services during my tenure as city secretary.”
