Runnels has more than 10 years of experience with the district, is a native Houstonian and served our country as a corporal for the United States Marine Corps Reserve, and experienced combat in Iraq. “It’s an honor that our community and our leadership team has entrusted me with this responsibility and it’s one I don’t take lightly,” said Chief Runnels.
