Larry Green Begins Race for District K City Council Seat

Established community leader announces his plans to represent District K 

HOUSTON, TX - Larry Green was cheered on by Houston’s most respected community and political leaders last Tuesday night as he announced his run for the newly created City Council District K seat. Attendees were enthusiastic about supporting Green and his move into local politics.

After years of assisting the disadvantaged through his law practice, serving as District Director for Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee, and helping local Houstonians find jobs, Green decided to enter the race. Green’s decision comes from his passion to represent the community he grew up in. He is a product of District K, having gone from Hobby Elementary to Dowling Middle, finally graduating from Madison High School.

“I know these people, they are my neighbors, and now I want to use my skills and experience to help District K improve infrastructure, bring jobs and economic development to the area, improve safety in the neighborhood, and make sure District K receives its fair share of city resources,” said Green.

And it seems several political and community leaders agree with Green as they were among the over 90 names listed as part of the host committee.

“I am honored to have the support of my family, coworkers, fellow alumnae from Madison and Texas Southern University, and fellow members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated; however I am most proud to have the opportunity to represent my neighbors,” Green concluded.

Larry Green currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Houston Works USA, a workforce development non-profit organization dedicated to bringing jobs to Houston. He formerly served as the Vice President of Development and Government Affairs for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and as a District Director for Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee.
