Houston Mayor John Whitmire will receive no more endorsements from the Harris County Democratic Party in the future. On Sunday, precinct chairs voted 186 to 80 against endorsing Whitmire in the upcoming elections.
The problem is Whitmire’s participation in a fundraiser for US Representative Dan Crenshaw, a Republican. Whitmire says the local party’s resolution doesn’t alter the fact that he’s “a Democrat with a 50-year record of voting and supporting Democratic values.”
