Farewell Letter from Council Member Sullivan

From the Office of

Council Member Sullivan

Christmas season is here, and so is the end of my term on Houston City Council.  My last city council meeting just concluded, and I worked hard to make sure that the conservative values of my council district were heard at the council table.  Rest assured, the mayor and city council know what is important to the district.  I have been vigilant in making sure your voices were heard from the first day I was sworn in until the gavel dropped on my last meeting.

 It has been an honor to work for the taxpayers of District E.  As I have said before, it is the most professionally rewarding experience I have ever had.  There is nothing to compare it to, and that is why 3 people ran to fill my seat.  Mr. Dave Martin won the election, and  I could not be more excited for him and the residents of District E.  He is someone I have known for many years, and he has a true servant’s heart.  He will serve us all well.  Also, please know that he is his own man.  He is not afraid to stand up and fight for what is right, and he has great personal values that will help him persevere through the tough times.  It is an honor for me to call him “Council Member Martin”.

Just so you know how well Council Member Martin and I work, we are in the middle of a serious and meaningful transition.  He has hired his staff, and I give them very high marks.  He and I have also sat in on approximately 20 transition meetings with various city departments.  These meetings have proven to be very beneficial so he can hit the ground running when he is sworn in on January 2nd.

Let me thank you again for being so supportive of me during my 5 years on Houston City Council.
