About

Dr. Shelley Sekula-Gibbs is serving her third term as The Woodlands Township Director, Position 5, having first been elected in 2019.  Before winning her position, Dr. Sekula-Gibbs ran a medical practice in Clear Lake, was the U.S. Congresswoman for TX-22, and served on the Houston City Council, at-large for three terms.

Her motto is “Keep The Woodlands Wonderful,” where her goal is to preserve the vision of George P. Mitchell of The Woodlands being “a place where generations live, work, worship, learn, and play,” and to make it even better for future generations. 

Dr. Sekula-Gibbs says she has a passion and commitment to listen to and advocate for the residents and businesses of The Woodlands. In her time as Director, she has worked collaboratively with elected officials, agencies, and residents “to lower property taxes, improve public safety, enhance amenities, support business development, improve transportation, and mitigate flooding, while preserving the beauty of our hometown within a natural forest.”

Dr. Sekula-Gibbs is an active member of her church, and she and her husband support numerous local charities. “I try to live by the Lord Jesus’ words, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’ and to ‘be professional, be charitable, and be persistent.’ I stand for the American flag and I kneel before God. My priorities are God, Family, Country and Community.”
