John Whitmire announced today that former Houston Mayor Lee P. Brown has endorsed him in his campaign for mayor of the City of Houston.

“As Houston's first African-American police chief and mayor, I am proud to endorse Senator John Whitmire to be Houston's next mayor,” said Former Mayor Brown. “He was always someone I could count on to help, whether it was my campaigns or during my tenure in office. Senator Whitmire has always fought for public safety and equality. I will be voting for Senator Whitmire for mayor and I ask all Houstonians to join me.”

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.
