Members of the Harris County Democratic Party signed a resolution Tuesday to formally admonish Houston Mayor John Whitmire amid a looming fundraising event he plans to attend for GOP U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw.
Roughly 30 precinct and congressional chairs with the party signed the resolution, which accuses Whitmire of undermining the "values and mission of the Democratic Party."
Per party rules, precinct chairs are not allowed to endorse, fundraise, or support candidates from opposing political parties. The resolution applies the same rules that precinct chairs have to comply with. The resolution additionally outlines that Whitmire would not be allowed to seek endorsement from the party in future elections.

Per a report by Abby Church of the Houston Chronicle, the precinct chair's statement described Whitmire's agenda as "indistinguishable from that of a MAGA mayor," taking issue with Whitmire having "stood on the sidelines" when it came to the trickle-down effects of the recent administration.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
