Houston City Council Member Letitica Plummer recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a vibrant Third Ward celebration. The event drew a crowd of enthusiastic supporters and generated excitement for the upcoming early vote election period from October 23 to November 3, just around 100 days away.
"I'm proud to call this city my home, as my family's commitment to public service here dates back to the mid-1800s on my dad's side," expressed Plummer, reflecting on her deep-rooted connection to Houston. "My mother, an immigrant full of hope, met my dad while he was serving our country in the Peace Corps. Their love for Houston, Texas, and America is unrivaled, fueling my own passion for making a positive difference in people's lives."
Plummer's Disco-themed birthday celebration also marked her first four years of dedicated service in the Houston City Council at large Pos. 4 seat. The event featured a special tribute to Donna Summer and included appearances by U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee and former State Representative and City Council Member Ben Reyes.
Raised in Houston and educated at prestigious institutions such as Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions, Spellman College, and Baylor University Dental School, Plummer's upbringing instilled in her a love for the city and its people. As a successful entrepreneur who has opened multiple offices throughout Houston, she remains committed to investing in the city's growth and well-being.
"My father, who was one of the first African Americans to attend Harvard Dental School after Morehouse, inspired me to build my own firm," shared Plummer. "Through my private business and public service volunteerism, I have witnessed firsthand the importance of public safety and am dedicated to implementing data-driven strategies that protect every corner of our city. I am truly honored to have earned the endorsement of the Houston Police Officers Union (HPOU), which recognizes my unwavering support for public safety."
Plummer's devotion to fostering a thriving local economy extends to her role as a small business owner and builder. She understands the significance of encouraging competition among entrepreneurs and cultivating global partnerships that benefit the community at large. Recognizing her commitment, Plummer expressed gratitude for her endorsement by the Greater Houston Builders Association (GHBA) and her involvement with various chambers of commerce spanning all 11 districts in Houston's diverse neighborhoods.
Throughout her tenure, Plummer has been proactive in addressing critical community needs, including improving air and water quality, expanding housing and healthcare options, and fostering opportunities in the food business sector across Houston.
Council Member Plummer's dedication to public service and her unyielding commitment to the betterment of Houston and its residents continue to make a lasting impact. Let's celebrate her birthday and support her ongoing efforts to create a brighter future for our city!
