Houston Mayor Annise Parker: Leading Lady | msnbc

When Annise Parker was first elected mayor of Houston in 2009, people balked that a deep south city was the first to elect an openly gay Mayor. Texans weren't--they had already elected Parker to office six times. Today, she’s one of only three female mayors of a major U.S. city. Married in California and mother of four adopted kids, she's reaching the end of her final term as mayor.

Houston Mayor Annise Parker: Leading Lady | msnbc

I love Mayor Parker! I hope she runs for higher office in the future.

[@poseidon3201]

Never lost an election from comptroller, council woman, multiple terms as mayor. She needs to run for Governor Senate, President

[@wombizclub]

Hey from Women's Business Club - thanks for sharing.

[@wkunzelman1]

Quite a few of these comments are rather disappointing... I wonder what hurt the people that wrote them to make them so bitter.

[@cirrusj6169]

well here is a woman I could vote for president she knows how to get things done.
I can see by the um ' intelligent?' comments below that the republicans would be over joyed to have her as president, well she is white that's always a good point with them. and she has a lovely family another good point.

[@SickMetalAddict]

Well that's odd cause Hillary Clinton has both of those qualifications, and look at where that got her lol...

It's obvious she is not a 'true patriot', I mean, just look at how she eat BBQ: with a fork and knife!

[@Tangle2Brook]

I am a Houston resident and have been since 1977. I cannot wait until there is a new mayor. This woman wants to shove her LGBT agenda down our throats even when it takes away our rights. I wish her and her family no harm but a swift exit from political influence.

[@SelectCircle]

Tangle2Brook If Texas goes liberal - this country and the whole world is done.

[@jqxok]

Tangle2Brook Well, at least you don't want to harm her and her family, that's very noble of you.
