Deddrick T. Wilmer Announces He Will Reevaluate His Political Alignment

"Dear Fellow Texans, Look at this photo. It's not staged. It's real. In the heart of our nation's home—the White House—Michelle Obama leans in to kiss former President George H.W. Bush on the cheek. He, in his wheelchair with those famous striped socks, smiles back with joy.

President Obama stands nearby, watching with quiet respect. Democrats and Republicans, different eras, different views... yet in that moment, they chose kindness over conflict.
This is what civility looks like.
This is what leadership can be.

Congress today is broken—not because we disagree (we always will), but because we've forgotten how to disagree with dignity. Name-calling, obstruction, viral gotchas... they've replaced debate, compromise, and service to the people who sent us there. If elected, I pledge to bring that spirit back:

Leadership Leads & Leadership Listens

Work across the aisle on the issues that matter most to Texas families—jobs, Overhaul & Modernization of Veterans Benefits, Common Sense Immigration policy-so we can move forward , education, and an actual Flood Distribution Project to To move storm water to both Galveston Bay & Houston Ship Channel

Treat every colleague as a fellow American trying to do right, even when we clash.

Put people over politics. Houston Chronicle Editorial Endorsement “ Wilmer is not the most conventional candidate as a moderate Republican pushing back against his party’s rightward tilt, but we could use more representatives like that in Washington”.

We've seen it done before. We can do it again. Vote for civility. Vote for Texas. Vote Deddrick T. Wilmer for Congress.
Together, let's make Washington remember what decency looks like—one respectful conversation at a time. With Faith hope and determination,
Deddrick T. Wilmer"

Today we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson — a man whose voice helped bend the arc of history toward justice.

From marching alongside Dr. King to building the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Reverend Jackson dedicated his life to expanding opportunity, empowering communities, and challenging America to live up to its founding promise.
He believed in the power of faith.
He believed in the power of coalition.
He believed that ordinary citizens, united, could change the course of a nation.

Reverend Jackson carried the message that democracy works best when every voice is heard — when opportunity is not limited by zip code, background, or circumstance.

His journey from Greenville, South Carolina, to the national stage was a testament to courage, resilience, and conviction.

Today, as we reflect on his contributions, we are reminded that leadership requires both conviction and compassion — the strength to speak boldly and the humility to serve faithfully.

May we continue striving toward unity, dignity, and opportunity for all.
Rest in honor, Reverend Jesse Jackson. I will do Everything in My Power to Keep HOPE alive! Your Assignment has been completed-Job Well Done

The newly released flood zone maps for Harris County and other surrounding counties coming soon!, confirm what families across our region already know: flooding is not a once-in-a-generation event — it is a recurring threat to our homes, our businesses, and our financial security.

These updated maps will affect property values, insurance premiums, development patterns, and long-term planning. For some homeowners, it will mean higher flood & homeowners insurance costs. For others, they will mean new construction restrictions. For all of us, they represent a sobering reality: we are not doing enough to get ahead of the water.
It is time to move from reaction to prevention.

The Cost of Doing Nothing
After major storms like Hurricane Harvey, thousands of families in our region were forced to rebuild — not once, but multiple times. Taxpayers spent billions on disaster relief. Insurance markets tightened. Homeowners insurance premiums climbed. And yet, the next storm still threatens to put neighborhoods underwater again.
We cannot keep rebuilding the same homes in the same flood-prone areas without fundamentally changing how we manage stormwater.
The updated maps are not the enemy. They are data. And data demands action.

A Bold but Practical Solution: Underground Stormwater Tunnels
I am calling on the United States Army Corps of Engineers to partner with Harris County and the State of Texas to design and construct a system of large-scale underground stormwater tunnels.

These tunnels would:
Rapidly divert excess stormwater during major rain events
Transport water safely toward controlled discharge points
Reduce pressure on bayous and neighborhood drainage systems
Protect homes that repeatedly flood
Lower long-term federal disaster spending
Cities around the world — including Chicago and Tokyo — have successfully implemented deep tunnel systems to manage extreme rainfall. Houston can and should do the same.
Instead of letting stormwater overwhelm surface infrastructure, we can move it underground — out of neighborhoods and toward safe release points connected to regional waterways such as Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel.

This Is Infrastructure That Pays for Itself
Every dollar invested in mitigation saves multiple dollars in disaster recovery. The federal government has already spent billions in emergency appropriations after hurricanes and flood events in our region.

The question is simple:
Do we keep writing checks after every storm, or do we invest in a permanent solution?
Underground tunnel infrastructure would:
Stabilize property values
Help control rising insurance costs
Protect small businesses
Create high-paying engineering and construction jobs
Strengthen national supply chains tied to the Port of Houston
Flood control is not just a local issue. It is an economic security issue.
Leadership Means Building for the Next 50 Years
We are the energy capital of the world. We are home to one of the largest ports in America. We are a region of growth, innovation, and resilience.

But resilience requires foresight.
The new flood zone maps are a warning. If we ignore them, we accept a future of higher premiums, repeated displacement, and federal bailouts.
If we act boldly — in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers — we can build a flood mitigation system worthy of our region’s importance.
This is not about politics. It is about protecting families. It is about keeping seniors in their homes. It is about ensuring that working families are not financially devastated every time the rain falls.
We have the engineering expertise.
We have the economic justification.
What we need now is the will to build.
It’s time to take flooding off the map — by putting the water underground.

Big Win for Our Seniors and Disabled Residents in Harris County MUD #248! Proud to share that as your elected Board Member/Secretary for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 248, I've helped advance measures that deliver real property tax relief to our most vulnerable neighbors.We've supported/adopted an enhanced homestead exemption providing up to $70,000 in tax relief for qualifying residents who are disabled or age 65 and older.

This means lower property taxes for those on fixed incomes, helping them stay in their homes without being priced out.This builds on Texas homestead protections and is part of our ongoing commitment to keep taxes affordable while maintaining essential services like water and infrastructure.

If you're in MUD #248 and qualify (over 65 or disabled), check with HCAD (Harris Central Appraisal District) to apply or confirm your exemption—it's often automatic once approved at the state level, but MUD extras add up!Grateful for the board's teamwork and your support. Together, we're building a stronger, more compassionate community.Questions? Drop them below! Let's keep fighting for tax relief that puts people first.#TaxRelief #HarrisCounty #MUD248 #Seniors #DisabledCommunity #CypressTX #CompassionateConservative
