Meet the Mayors: Mattie Parker | International Women's Day Event

Mattie Parker was elected in June 2021 as the youngest mayor of any major US city and the 45th Mayor of Fort Worth, one of the fastest growing cities in the country and the most politically conservative big city in Texas. Parker, 38, is the city’s first millennial mayor, and she presides over the youngest and most diverse city council in Fort Worth history. In her first year, she has led the city through a host of urban challenges from public safety to public health to affordability. She’s been known to make appeals for bipartisanship, even when it means she has to buck her party. “It’s go time” with Mayor Mattie Parker.

This event is brought to you by the LBJ School, The Urban Lab and the LBJ Future Forum.
