“I care deeply about Houston and Houstonians; we all want a great city in which to live, work and raise our families,” said Whitmire. “As a public servant, I go where I am called. And I’ve gotten a call from Houstonians to leave the Texas Legislature after 50 years and to run for Mayor of the City of Houston. I accept that call because I am a public servant.

“Using my experience and commitment to helping others, I believe as Mayor I can make a more direct impact on Houstonians’ lives — bringing our city closer to meeting the expectations and hopes we all share.”

Whitmire’s top priorities are increasing public safety, building up infrastructure, improving city services and ensuring the budget is structurally sound.

“I know together we can improve our neighborhoods with better streets, garbage pickup, flood control, transportation and a more affordable Houston,” said Whitmire.

As Mayor, he will ensure that everyone has a seat at the table, no matter the issue. His administration will be transparent and ethical at every level.

“I’m excited to get to work,” Whitmire said. "I wish I could start today!”
