Todd's district included the Johnson Space Center, William P. Hobby Airport, the Houston Ship Channel, and Lake Houston. He chaired the Regulatory Affairs Committee, the Charter Committee, and the Rail Committee. He was also a member of the Aviation, Ethics, and Finance Committees.
At the time of his initial election, Todd was the youngest person ever elected to Houston City Council at the age of 31 and has been a mainstay in the business community.
Todd was born into a military family in Kirksville, Missouri, but spent time in Oregon, Kansas and Hawaii. He moved to Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Latin American Studies. After his undergraduate, Todd received a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from the South Texas College of Law.

Since 2022 Todd has been general counsel for Accion SocialVenezuela--Houston. This humanitarian group provides services for recent Venezuelan Immigrants to Houston.
In 1990 Todd served as a Russian language interpreter at a round of the strategic arms limitation treaty negotiations between the Soviet Union and the United States between U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and Eduard Schevarnadze at the Houstonian Hotel, Club and Spa in Houston Texas.
In 1995 Todd was elected to Houston City Council. As a City of Houston councilmember Todd opposed the expenditure of public funds on the installation of light rail without a public vote, and in 2001 filed suit against the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, to block the project and force a referendum. He argued that taxpayers should be allowed to consider the merits of light rail. He succeeded and as a result, METRORail was put to a public vote.
