Casar names District 4 office staff
Tuesday, January 13, 2015 by Mark Richardson
District 4 City Council Member Greg Casar has completed naming his office staff. Casar has hired Shelby Alexander, formerly on the staff of Council Member Mike Martinez; Neesha Davé, a former chief of staff for state Rep. Armando Walle (D-Houston); and John Lawler, his former campaign manager. Casar won the District 4 seat in a runoff with Laura Pressley, who sought a recount that did not change the outcome of the vote. Before running for office, Casar was the political director of the Workers Defense Project.
