Proud to help unveil the new Pride banners. These banners represent the unity and strength of our Montrose community and the greater Houston community. I’m proud to sponsor these banners and to support a message that means so much to so many.

I’ve always been clear: Houston follows local and state law. We are not ICE, and we do not enforce federal immigration law. Today, I joined a majority of City Council to pass a sensitive ordinance on immigration procedures. Staying focused on public safety not politics.

What a day for Houston. Thousands of Dutch and Swedish fans filled our streets ahead of Netherlands vs. Sweden, bringing incredible energy to our city. Thank you to Rice University, the Host Committee, and first responders for helping organize this free march for all to enjoy.

Zero tolerance for racism in Houston. The comments made by former officer Ashley Gonzalez were vile, unacceptable, and do not reflect the values of our city or the standards of HPD. She was terminated today. There is no place for hate in Houston.

The stakes are high for today's vote to amend the city's immigration ordinance. Mayor Whitmire said the change will follow the law, reinforce the fourth amendment and protect the city's $114 million in public safety funding from the state.

School will be back in session soon so let’s drive smarter and safer around school zones. Slow down, stay alert, and protect our kids. Houston Police will lead a citywide effort to enforce school zone safety. Let’s all do our part.

🎉 Houston City Council, with three members absent, unanimously passed the $650 million collective bargaining agreement with Houston Firefighters. This helps to end a battle for pay and benefits dating back to 2016.

We’ve listened to the concerns about the roundabout at Irvington and Patton and we took action. Today, that intersection features a new traffic light with protected crosswalks, a new METRO Houston bus stop, and infrastructure improvements that better support nearby businesses.

Given recent events, City of Houston understands but is disappointed President Donald J. Trump will not visit this week to assess Hurricane Beryl recovery. We are deeply grateful for the timely call from Mr. Biden after the storm, and his support is proving invaluable in addressing our long-term needs.

At Council today, I reaffirmed Houston’s longstanding policy: we enforce state and local laws — not immigration laws. HPD does not ask for immigration status and only reports to agencies with active warrants. This has been our policy for years under previous administrations.

Today, City Council stood with our downtown residents, businesses, and visitors. After months of concerns about unsafe, unregulated scooters, we took action. We’re bringing order back to our streets and making downtown safer for all.

For years, Houston has had two MLK Day parades. Mayor Whitmire made it a priority to bring everyone together and unite the community. Last week, he announced that on January 19, 2026, the city will celebrate one parade honoring Dr. King. This is what a city for all looks like.

We’ve heard residents, pedestrians, and local businesses loud and clear. This broken roundabout at Patton and Irvington has caused chaos for too long. We’re fixing it and bringing real solutions to the Near Northside.
