Lance Hood Announces Run for Mansfield City Council Place 5

Local high school administrator Lance Hood threw his hat into the ring for Mansfield City Council’s Place 5.

Mr. Hood and his family have resided in Mansfield since the Spring of 2020, and he became active in various community groups and city government shortly after their arrival. He was part of Mansfield’s first Muni-versity program, was a Community Emergency Response Team member, and has gone through the police and fire citizen’s academies. In addition, he volunteers with the Arts Council, was recently appointed to the Mansfield Park Facilities Development Corporation, and works as a mentor and referee for youth sports programs in and around the area.

Mr. Hood has extensive experience serving on local, state, national, and international boards and committees. Before entering education, he was a mid-to senior-level manager in various not-for-profit groups, and has experience in policy creation, policy enforcement, human resources management, public relations and much more.

Mr. Hood says he is running now because “The time is right with my family, and I truly believe that if you want to see change...you have to be willing to take part in that change.”

Mr. Hood has a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University (Galveston Campus) and a Master of Business Administration in Leadership from the University of Dallas.
