The Mayor Of Houston Takes Office

Over the cheers of more than 2,000 citizens, John Whitmire, the new mayor of Houston, Texas,  officially took office yesterday morning. In his inaugural speech, he said that he would establish a government that will serve all the people in the city and vowed to work together for the welfare of all citizens.

The mayor said that improving public safety is his top priority saying that, “Without a safe environment, all other municipal projects will not be able to advance, including urban infrastructure, the city budget and the homeless issues.”

Houston, the fourth largest city in the nation, is currently known as having the largest ethnic population in the United States with a record Asian population of nearly 7% currently living in the city today.

We really want to suggest that the city should expand its global relationships around the world to promote trade and cultural ties and attract more investors to come to the city in order to drive more economic prosperity and widely strengthen the city’s tourism activities.

We are here to congratulate our new mayor for his success and we will be among his strongest supporters.
