Dear Sugar Land residents,

I'm excited to let you know that I have filed to run for Mayor. With 31 years of service to our community, I look forward to taking the next step in leading Sugar Land toward an even brighter future, ensuring its continued growth and success for years to come. Sugar Land is uniquely positioned to lead the region with fiscally responsible growth that preserves its suburban charm, making it the premier place to live, work, and raise a family.

Serving as Mayor and representing the residents of Sugar Land would be a tremendous honor, and it’s a responsibility I would approach with the utmost dedication. We need a mayor who truly understands our community – its unique challenges and the incredible opportunities that lie ahead. I am running for Mayor to leverage my extensive experience to prioritize public safety, revitalize infrastructure, and ensure Sugar Land continues to embrace the diversity that makes it exceptional. I look forward to engaging with voters and showing why I am the best candidate to lead our city as the next Mayor.

I am currently serving my fourth term as Sugar Land City Council Member District 4. As an engineer, I bring a practical, solutions-oriented approach to addressing complex challenges, ensuring effective solutions for the city’s future. My deep commitment to Sugar Land and strong understanding of city issues make me the best candidate to be the next Mayor.

My husband and I have been married for 37 years. I hold a B.S. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering and an M.B.A. I am a retired petroleum engineer with extensive experience in the energy industry.

I served as Mayor Pro Tem from 2019-2020 and am a former president of the Sugar Land Development Corporation. I have served on numerous City boards, commissions, committees, and task forces.

I was named one of Houston’s 50 Most Influential Women of 2022. I am a graduate of Sugar Land 101, the Sugar Land Citizen’s Police, Fire, and Airport Academies, Fort Bend Leadership Forum, Leadership Houston, Leadership Texas, and Leadership America.

I am a former president of the Women’s Energy Network of Houston and have co-chaired charity fundraisers benefiting women and children.  I was honored as a Fort Bend Woman of the Year in 2003.  I have served as a First Colony Neighborhood Representative for 31 years. I previously served on the boards of the Skeeters Baseball Foundation and Shape Up Fort Bend.

I look forward to the opportunity to serve as your next Mayor!  God bless Sugar Land!

Sincerely,

Carol McCutcheon, the People's Voice
