Houston’s newly minted Mayor John Whitmire is swiftly shaping his administration with a fresh set of faces at City Hall, as he gears to urgently deliver on his vision for the city. The recent shake-up includes Chris Newport as chief of staff and Steven David as deputy chief of staff, alongside high-profile roles for former city controller Chris Brown and education advisor Cynthia Wilson, reported the Houston Chronicle. These appointments reflect a broader reimagining of the administrative landscape, with almost entirely new staff taking the reins in pivotal positions.
