Him winning is better than Shelia Jackson Lee winning.

[@renicherian2415]

Def better than Sheila

[@ToriHarris-lb6zg]

He won't, but he's still better than that old woman

[@bestthingsinceslicedrice]

Finally Shiela can now pursue her right calling and that is to be a comedian since she ran a hilarious politcal ad by her being tough on crime 🤣

[@sandraallen7583]

CONGRADULATIONS!! JOHN WHITMIRE!! 👏 👏 ON WINNING FAIR AND SQUARE AS OUR NEXT CITY OF HOUSTON , TEXAS MAYOR!! AMEN AND HALLELUJAH ... 🙏 📖 👍 👏 👏

So proud to have voted for the new mayor John Whitmire congratulations.

[@mtnluvr]

Congratulations!!!! I am not a Democrat but I like this new Maryor.

[@ajc713]

VERY HEARTY CONGRATS MR MAYOR

[@rikellis7871]

Even a conservative Democrat is better than a progressive Democrat, so clean up Houston and bring Criminal justice reform and the rule of law, where you support the Constitution back to Harris county!

[@minewheaties5029]

"I need to smile more." Perhaps a needed tribute to Dick Van Dyke, whose closest friends have now died. Nobody was closer to him in friendship than Carl Reiner and the recently deceased Norman Lear. Norman even became quite good with well known Houston Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, who even co-founded People for the American Way with him.

[@CommaderJohn]

Amazing !!

[@StillPlaysWithModelTrains1956]

Time to go home, Shelia, and watch NASA video feed of the Apollo 11 moon landing site by the Mars Rover!

I do not expect much to change in Houston. Liberal run cities speak for themselves.

[@sonhouse7642]

Red States are last in education, health care, wages. Pretty much every category. Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana are a mess. Even Texas ranks last in the U.S. in high quality pre-natal and maternal care.

Congratulations, Mayor Whitmire!! Do something about how Short Term Rentals effected established neighborhoods issues please!! God bless!

[@georgerogers1166]

That's your HOA's issue. Have the City attorney enforce the covenants in your neighborhood, is the most a Houston mayor can do.

[@TheDonnaCrosby]

Yawn

[@geradhaase646]

Did she say ruin or run the city?

Another democrat huh???

It would be worse if the republican taliban were pulling the strings.

[@michaelcoulter1725]

Yo it's not about party that's the problem in the first place you could be a good Democrat and have all your morals and all your goals lined up for a city and bet a Rhino Republican and totally jack up a now I ain't no Democrat myself I'm a black Republican but like I said not about party it's about substance

Dems support the Constitution when they call it “Just another piece of paper”? Oh please! I wish the new mayor luck. I hope he turns the city around unlike most other Dem run down cities. All these special interest groups seldom do what is right for their city and its citizens.
