- Laura Gibbs Maczka Jordan was the Mayor of Richardson, Texas from 2013 to 2015. She had previously become the first woman elected to the post of Mayor Pro Tem in the City's 57-year history as a home rule city. Maczka was initially elected to the Richardson City Council, Place 4 in May 2011 as a Republican, defeating Democrat Karl Voigtsberger by 74.97% to 25.03%. She is believed to be only the 6th woman elected to the city council in the last 40 years. In 2013, Maczka was elected mayor in the first direct election of the mayor since the city became a home rule city in 1956. In 2015, Maczka became entangled in a corruption scandal involving land developer Mark Jordan, whom she would marry in 2017. Following her resignation, Maczka was convicted of bribery and wire fraud. Her conviction, along with her husband's, was vacated over misconduct allegations by a court bailiff. However, a second jury in 2021 acquitted former mayor of honest services wire fraud and conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, charges of which she was convicted during the first trial, instead, convicting her only of bribery and tax fraud. She and her husband were each sentenced to six years in federal prison. (en)
