District F on Houston City Council

Council Member Al Hoang represents District F on Houston City Council, one of the most diverse districts in the entire city. The district encompasses a large part of southwest Houston, including Alief, Braeburn, Fondren Southwest, Gulfton, Sharpstown, and Westwood communities. Born in South Vietnam, his family fled to the United States after the Fall of Saigon to communism in 1975. Soon after, Al and his family moved to Houston and made it their permanent home. He graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in 1989, and went on to attain his Juris Doctorate degree from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Today, Al has a successful law practice which specializes in criminal defense.

Al Hoang’s top priority on City Council is to return tax dollars to the constituents of his district by working to increase public safety, improve economic development, advocate for quality affordable housing, and provide the most proactive constituent service to residents of District F. Al is working to transform the neglected neighborhoods in the district to the safe and thriving communities of the past. Additionally, Al works closely with his colleagues on City Council to promote a fiscally responsible approach to city spending.

Al Hoang is a devoted family man with Christian values. He and his wife Diane have three children and are members of Christ Incarnate Word Catholic Church on South Kirkwood. Al has also been an active member in the community and has served on numerous civic and anti-crime boards. In his spare time he enjoys jogging and bicycling through his neighborhood with his family.
