HOUSTON — Keith Wade, the special advisor to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, died Thursday evening due to COVD-19, officials confirm.
Wade, a longtime political strategist and public servant, worked with several politicians, including U.S. Rep. Mickey Leland and former Houston Mayor Annise Parker.
Turner, who attended UH with Wade, released the following statement:
“Keith and I go back 46 years, to our days on the campus of the University of Houston.
Keith served as a special advisor to both me and Mayor Annise Parker.
This is a sad day for a lot of people because Keith wasn’t just a consultant or a Special Advisor.
