John Harris Whitmire (born August 13, 1949)〔 〕 is the longest-serving of current members of the Texas State Senate representing District 15, which includes much of northern Houston, since 1983. He tenure earns him the title of Dean of the Senate. Previously he was a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1973 through 1982. He also served as the Acting Governor of Texas in 1993〔 as part of the Governor for A Day tradition. == Early Life and Education == Whitmire was born in Hillsboro, Texas to James M. Whitmire, the Hill County Clerk and Marie Harris Whitmire, a nurse.〔 He came from humble beginnings and moved more that three times as a child; but his fondest memories were of his early childhood in Whitney, Texas where he had no running water but had the strong support of his neighbors. He cherishes this time in his life so much, you can still find his blue corduroy Future Farmers of America jacket, with “Whitney” largely embroidered on it hanging behind his desk in the Capitol. In his early teenage years, he moved to North Houston and attended Waltrip High School. Whitmire attended college at the University of Houston to study political science while paying for his education by working for the Texas State Welfare Department to which he credits his understanding of ordinary people facing difficult times.
