Timeline

1936

Peter Hoyt Brown (October 16, 1936 – December 12, 2017 ) was a politician who held office as an at-large council member in the city of Houston, Texas.

1966

Brown began his career as an architect and urban planner in 1966, working on major projects in the northeast United States.

1982

In 1982 he moved back to Houston, and became a partner in an architecture and planning firm.

A year later, he would found his own firm, which he grew into a successful national business.

2003

In 2003, Brown was elevated to Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, the profession's highest distinction.

As an architect, has designed many municipal facilities, including affordable housing and traditional neighborhoods, fire and police stations, parks and recreation centers, jails and courthouses, libraries and health clinics, transit stations, and theaters.

Brown also served as an adjunct professor in the Department of Urban Planning & Environmental Policy graduate program at Texas Southern University.

Brown directed the Better Houston membership organization focused on improvements to local neighborhoods, transit, and urbanism.

Brown first ran for an at-large seat on Houston City Council in 2003 against incumbent Council Woman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs.

Brown narrowly lost to Sekula-Gibbs, receiving 48.5% of the vote, and raising more money than any previous city council candidate.

2005

In 2005, Brown ran again and won his seat, at-large position 1.

2006

Starting when he took office in 2006, Brown was a neighborhood advocate, working for better street standards, making the city pedestrian-friendly, and instrumental in the creation of the Houston General Plan and the Houston Mobility Plan, and was involved in the creation of the Old Sixth Ward historic district.

Brown publicly supported a decentralized form of municipal government, and recently unveiled plans to decentralize the city government, and bring city services closer to neighborhoods.

"We're a big, spread-out city and trying to run everything from a central, one central source, say downtown is not very cost-effective. To decentralize neighborhood services is something I think we need to take a close look at."

Brown also supported a decentralized, restructured police department, saying that with centralized systems, “there is no accountability.” Brown has called this situation a “leadership opportunity for the next mayor to plow new ground.”

He also promoted and worked for more "green" initiatives including recycling, urban gardens and farming, and air quality standards.

2007

In 2007, he was re-elected to his second term.

2008

In January 2008, Mayor Bill White appointed Brown to chair the newly created Council Committee on Sustainable Growth.

The committee considers strategies to promote environmental health, energy efficiency, and conservation of natural resources in the city of Houston.

In October 2008, the Sustainable Growth Committee successfully initiated a program to recycle heavy organic yard waste which is expected to salvage 90000 ST annually, enough to fill the Chase Tower, the city's tallest structure.

This, plus a new program to recycle scrap tires, will save Houston taxpayers over $1 million annually.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, Brown advocated for the importance of retrofitting the city's electrical infrastructure.

The hurricane cut electric power to millions of customers in the Houston area for weeks.

Brown called for the largest energy provider in Houston, CenterPoint Energy, to bury their overhead power lines and harden the city's electrical grid to prevent similar mass power outages from occurring in the future.

In January 2008, Brown announced the creation of his mayoral exploratory committee.

Since that announcement, Brown has received the public support and endorsement of several organizations and community leaders.

2009

Known locally as "Peter Brown," he was a candidate for the 2009 Houston mayoral race, to succeed then Mayor Bill White, who vacated the position due to term limits.

Although an independent poll conducted by 11 News/ KUHF Houston Public Radio poll in late October 2009 showed Brown holding the lead in the mayor's race with a nine-point lead over his nearest opponent, he was eliminated in the November 3, 2009, election.

Brown grew up in Riverside Terrace in Houston, just north of Brays Bayou, in the North McGregor part of town, and attended St. John's School.

He graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston, and went on to earn a master's degree in languages from University of California, Berkeley.

Upon graduation, Brown enlisted in the U.S. Army.

After a year of active service, Brown entered the active reserves while attending the University of Pennsylvania.

There, he earned master's degrees in architecture and urban planning.

Today, he is the only city council member in Houston to have served in the U.S. military.

On February 26, 2009, Brown officially announced his candidacy for Mayor of Houston, and succeed current term limited Mayor White, before supporters at Hermann Park in Houston.

Other candidates include former City Attorney Gene Locke, Roy Morales, and City Controller Annise Parker.

Brown has focused much of his campaign around his experience as a businessman, architect and urban planner, and his "Blueprint for An Even Better Houston," which his campaign says "offers real solutions and real ideas for combatting traffic, crime, flooding and other challenges."

The blueprint details policy agendas pertaining to the economy, public safety, transportation, flooding, energy, government efficiency and reform, and the environment.

Although his opponents are generally acknowledged to be more polished public speakers than he is, and some of them been politicians for much longer - building high name identification - observers have acknowledged that Brown seems to have outworked his opponents.

The Chronicle's Rick Casey praised Brown's "energy" and wrote "Brown has campaigned harder and longer than any other candidate."
