ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- Cal Hendrick, a long-time Odessa native, today announced he is running for mayor in November. Hendrick will go head-to-head with incumbent, Javier Joven; as of yet, no one else has announced their intentions to run.
Hendrick's family settled in Odessa in the late 1800's and Hendrick himself has lived in Odessa his entire life, with the exception of his college years. Raised on the west side of town, he attended San Jacinto Elementary, Bowie Junior High, as it was known at the time, and Odessa High School. His supporters say that Hendrick is as "Odessa" as it gets and expressed their support for him because they know he truly loves the city and wants to see it thrive.
It's a sentiment that Hendrick echoed at his announcement event Wednesday morning, "I'm for Odessa. That's my number one goal. I want to do what ever is best for the City of Odessa and that's going to be my mantra."
It was a mantra that was met with an enormous round of applause from those in attendance. It would seem, the homegrown candidate has a huge amount of support from the community.
