祝賀休斯敦市長惠特邁新官上任

德州參議員老牌政治家惠特邁即將就任美國第四大城休斯敦市長一職， 也是他走向政治旅途之高峯。

近二年多前 ，他來到我們社區告訴大家他要競選市長， 希望得到國際華亞裔之支持， 他最主要的政見是要改善社會惡化中之治安， 並誓言在他就任後之最重要施政方針。 事實上，在他參議員任內已經是司法委員會重要委員 。

在多次之交往之中， 我們透過政見發表會餐會及各項募款集會， 和他的團隊進行了非常密切之接觸 ，並深入地瞭解他的政綱和施政計劃。

我們屢次在建言中， 除了改善治安之外， 希望他的市府成立一個經濟特區部門 ，大力協助全世界工商界人士前來休斯敦投資創業， 全力配合投資者解決法律會計土地及其他手續 ，為本市之經濟繁榮增加就業機會。

新人新政 ，我們非常興奮而且盼望和新市長共同為休斯敦市未來之前途而努力。

Congratulations To Houston's New Mayor Whitmire On Taking Office

Texas State Senator John Whitmire is about to take office as the new mayor of Houston, the fourth largest city in America, which, at the same time, marks a political milestone for him as well as representing a high point of his political journey. 

More than two years ago he came to our community to announce to everyone that he was going to run  for the office of mayor of Houston, hoping to get support from our international community. His main political agenda was to improve public safety.

Over the last several months we have had very close contact with his team through many public gatherings, dinners, fund-raising events and TV debates.

We also have made many suggestions to him including the setting up of an economic zone in the city to assist business people from all over the world to invest in Houston, while attracting investors to fully reach their economic goals in Houston. 

We are so very excited and look forward to working with the new mayor for the future of our city.
