John Whitmire announced today that the Houston Police Officers’ Union (HPOU) has endorsed him in his campaign for mayor of the City of Houston.
“The Houston Police Officers’ Union is proud to endorse Senator John Whitmire for Mayor of the City of Houston,” said HPOU President Doug Griffith. “Senator Whitmire has stood proudly with law enforcement for the entire time he has been in the Legislature. His dedication to public service and his commitment to the community will make him a great leader for this wonderful city.”
Whitmire has represented Senate District 15 in the Texas Senate for the past 40 years, after serving ten years in the Texas House. He knows Houston is a great city, where its diverse population comes together to tackle tough issues. Whitmire wants to see the city reach its full potential by taking on the tough issues facing our city. Those issues include public safety, illegal dumping, homelessness, flooding and drainage, street and water system repair, and neighborhood traffic safety. He also wants to boost the morale of police and firefighters and let them know that Houston has their backs.
