Former broadcast journalist James Doughty joins District 9 City Councilman Joe Krier and staff as Communications Manager.
“James Doughty came to us highly recommended and after several interviews we determined he was an outstanding match for our office,” said Krier. “I look forward to him being a part of our team and helping us serve the needs of District 9 constituents.”
James most recently worked in television news using his mother’s maiden name Munoz. Born in Midland, Texas, James graduated from Texas Tech University in 1997 with a BA in Broadcast Journalism. He has worked in TV News for more than 16 years.
James and his wife Angela are members at Churchill Baptist Church where they lead a Sunday morning Bible School Class for Pre-K and Kindergarten aged children. He has two children who study in the N.E.I.S.D.
“I turn 40 this year and more than ever it’s important for me to give back to this wonderful community,” Doughty said. “Councilman Krier is one of the most respected members of our community and I’ll work hard to share his views and values with San Antonio.”
James is a 4th generation Texan. He carries the namesake of his 3rd
great-grandfather who was the first superintendent of the King Ranch and Sheriff of Refugio county. Another ancestor, John Moses, came to Texas in 1847 and wrote a series of columns for the San Antonio Express News from 1887 to 1890 under the pseudonym Sesom.
“When I look at my family history of public service I know I’ve made the correct move in joining Councilman Krier at City Hall,” said Doughty. “I am here to chronicle what’s happening and help others. I’m honored to work with Councilman Krier for all of San Antonio.”
