Commissioner Dexter McCoy, Pct 4

Commissioner Dexter L. McCoy grew up in the Mission Bend community and graduated from Travis High School. After graduating from Boston University, Commissioner McCoy served as an appointee in the Obama Administration, where he focused on college access issues and implemented the administration’s agenda addressing harassment in our nation’s schools. When Commissioner McCoy returned home, he became a district leader in Fort Bend ISD, where he delivered students and families the tools they needed to build stronger, more connected communities. Since being sworn into office, Commissioner McCoy and his team have advanced policy initiatives focused on engaging historically excluded communities and improving quality of life. They passed the first paid parental leave policy and nearly doubled the amount of sick time offered to county employees, invested millions in mobility and parks improvements, and appointed the precinct's first Latina justice of the peace. They have built partnerships with organizations like Fit Houston and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Houston to develop programming for the physical, mental, and economic health of the community.

Commissioner McCoy and his wife Chelsea live in Richmond with their daughters Piper and Porter, along with their Goldendoodle Fitz.
