Lane Lewis
We are now done with the district Council interviews, so we move on to the At Large races, where most of the non-Mayoral action is happening this year. There are two open At Large seats, and both of them have drawn a large field of candidates. This week we focus on At Large #1, currently held by Mayoral hopeful Steve Costello. First up is Lane Lewis, who currently serves as the Chair of the Harris County Democratic Party, an office he won in 2012. He has a background in social work, where he was the co-founder of a youth center, and in education, where he has been a classroom teacher and now works as the chief compliance officer at a charter school. He has served as an adviser to the City’s Health and Human Services department, and been appointed to various boards and committees by former Mayors Lanier, Brown, and White.
