John Whitmire announced today that Community Activist Gabrielle Hadnot has endorsed him in his campaign for mayor of the City of Houston.

“My major objective for the next mayor of Houston is keeping the citizens safe in their homes, workplace and surroundings,” said Hadnot. “The fourth largest city needs to have a person with a vision into the future. That is why John Whitmire is the best choice for 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.
