Daniel Burdette was sworn in Monday night as the new Place 3 City Council Member. The vacancy was created when Council Member Dan Barrios announced in July that he was resigning from the City Council to run for another office. Burdette will serve the remainder of Barrios’ term, which expires in May 2027.
Burdette works in the health care industry and has been a Richardson resident for 25 years. He previously served on the Parks and Recreation Commission and is a graduate of Leadership Richardson, Richardson CARES, the Citizens Fire Academy, and the Citizens Police Academy. He also has volunteered at the Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival since 2011, including as a past chairman of the Wildflower! Executive Steering Committee and as a Budding Talent Producer.
Burdette was chosen after a process that included a 17-day application period and two rounds of interviews, which were conducted in open session at City Council meetings. Thirteen people applied for the position.
