She was admitted in the Ohio State Bar in 1982〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lawyer Paula Hicks-Hudson - Toledo, OH Attorney - Avvo.com )〕 practiced law specializing in business and education Law, as well as Social Security and Working Disability before entering public office. ==Public office== Hicks-Hudson was appointed to the Toledo City Council in 2011, representing the 4th district, after Michael Ashford vacated the seat when he was elected to the Ohio General Assembly. She ran in the special election in May 2011, and again in the general election in November 2011, winning both to retain her seat. In 2013, her council colleagues voted for her to replace council President Joe McNamara when he resigned to run for mayor. While serving as Toledo city council president, she was sworn in as acting mayor after her predecessor Mike Collins suffered from cardiac arrest. She served in this office for several days until Collins died, at which point she ascended to the office of mayor. Hicks-Hudson becomes only the second woman to lead the city of Toledo. (The first was Republican Donna Owens, who was mayor from 1983 to 1989.) She also becomes the first African American woman to serve as mayor. Toledo will hold a special election in November 2015 to fill the seat for the rest of the term. On March 18, 2015 Hicks-Hudson announced her candidacy for the November 2015 mayoral election. Hicks-Hudson won election to a full term on November 3, 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paula Hicks-Hudson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
