Pam Holm - A life of service to Houston

A native Houstonian and a citizen activist for more than 35 years, Pam Holm was first elected to City Council in 2003 to represent the people and interests of west Houston in District G. She is currently serving in her third term, which began in January 2008.

During her tenure on Council, Pam has challenged budgets and, when necessary, opposed appropriations where there was wasteful spending and information lacking. She has been a committed, full-time member, engaged on a daily basis, participating on every key committee where some of the city’s most significant issues are handled.

Pam is Chairman of the Pension Review Committee, member of the Transportation, Infrastructure and Aviation Committee; the Quality of Life Committee, which she also chaired; the Regulation, Development and Neighborhood Protection Committee; and the Budget and Fiscal Affairs Committee. Additionally, she served as Vice Chair of the Transportation Policy Council of the Houston-Galveston Area Council.

With public and private stakeholders, Pam coordinated efforts to rebuild Looscan Library and the Kendall Library complex that will include a community center. She shepherded the designation of the first railroad Quiet Zone in Houston and the 2005 Historic Preservation Ordinance establishing the protected landmark status.

She and her husband, Chuck Holm, whom she met in junior high school and began dating while at TCU, have been married for 39 years. Their son, Nelson Holm, his wife, Courtney, and their children, Hudson and Eleanor, reside in Fort Worth.
