Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, one of America’s youngest mayors, has been on the job for less than a year. In that time she’s led the most politically conservative big city in Texas through a host of urban challenges, from unraveling public health to affordability to transportation. How would she say her first term is going?
Join The Texas Tribune for a live, in-person conversation between Tribune CEO Evan Smith and Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 23, at the Brown-Lupton University Union Ballroom at Texas Christian University. Guests may park in Visitor Lot 6 or the Frog Alley Parking Garage on Stadium Drive.
Nothing is off the table for this live, local event — like where Fort Worth stands with local control, recent fights over public education and so much more.

This in-person event will be simultaneously streamed for virtual attendees and will be available to watch on demand afterward at texastribune.org/events.
Parker was elected mayor of Fort Worth last June. She was chief of staff for the Fort Worth mayor and City Council from 2015-20. Parker also served as the CEO of Fort Worth Cradle to Career and the Tarrant To & Through (T3) Partnership, which aims to ensure more students have the training and skills needed to thrive in the workforce.
