Sallie Alcorn is an American politician who has held political office as an at-large council member in the City of Houston, Texas since 2020. Alcorn collected 22.8% of the votes in the November 5, 2019 general election,[1] which triggered a runoff. She won her runoff election[2] on December 14, 2019, with 52.8% (90,235) of the vote. Although Houston City Council had previously held a female majority from 2006 to 2007, Alcorn will be serving with the largest number of female council members elected to office at one time in council history after the District B election is settled.
Alcorn (née Comstock) was born in North Carolina and moved to Houston when she was in the seventh grade, later graduating from Westchester High School. She received a BBA in finance from the University of Texas at Austin and an MA in Public Administration from the University of Houston.
