The Chronicle Editorial Board endorses John Whitmire for Houston mayor

The Chronicle Editorial Board has endorsed John Whitmire for Houston mayor.

“It’s clear that Whitmire is well-prepared to do the unglamorous work of making this city function,” writes the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board. “It will take a leader guided by data, strategic thinking and common sense — not unbending ideology — to address crime, shore up finances and get our trash picked up on time. We believe that leader is John Whitmire.”
