“An unapologetic advocate to reduce car dependency and give residents more transportation options is leading the primary vote in the race to be Seattle's next mayor — and sending the latest signal that transportation reform might just be a winning campaign issue in local elections across America.”

Katie Wilson's Success in Seattle Shows Again that Urbanism Is A Winning Campaign Issue — Streetsblog USA

The transit advocate's strong early performance in Seattle's mayoral primary is rekindling a national conversation about the power of bold transportation reform to win at the ballot box.

Whitmire doesn't make decisions based on what the community wants, but instead based on what his cronies and donors want. We need to #recallwhitmire now!

“Lawmakers and regulators promised lots of reforms after Hurricane Beryl. Big changes weren't achieved.

Almost a year after Beryl, the most hard-hitting proposals suggested by lawmakers and the Public Utility Commission in the aftermath of the storm have not been adopted, a Houston Chronicle….”

Text messages from Whitmire obtained via FOIA request. As far back as February, he intended to remove the Austin St. bike lanes, even referring to his critics as "bullies."

Whitmire is also lying about the firefighters affected by the bike lanes. Not only is the fire department not affected, but they've even used the bike lanes for training purposes. Someone who runs on spite, lies, and pettiness is unfit for office. The time to #recallwhitmire starts now!

We're here at the redistricting hearing and wondering, why isn't Whitmire here? This redistricting effort is something that will affect all of Houston. Perhaps because he had a hand to play in this in the past.

She called 911 to report domestic abuse. Then Houston police called ICE on her.

The woman’s case is a worst-case scenario, according to advocates worried about the worsening state of domestic violence in the Houston region.

Contrary to Whitmire's claims, it's not safe for victims of domestic violence to call HPD without the risk of having ICE sent after them. While other democratic mayors are fighting back against ICE, Whitmire is abandoning us in the name of "just following orders." #RecallWhitmire
