This week, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, Constable May Walker of Precinct 7, and Constable Silvia Treviño of Precinct 6 endorsed Judge Hidalgo for re-election, citing their support for ‘smart and tough anti-crime initiatives’.
Congratulations Senator Warnock from Harris County, Texas! This year continues to remind us that despite the obfuscation, a majority of voters support democracy, decency, and truth. Proud to be part of this fight!
Today, Harris County passed a resolution supporting the Respect for Marriage Act & committing to work with Congress & the White House to codify the right to marry who you love. Harris County stands with the LGBTQ community & those impacted by the attack in Colorado Springs.
🧵The massive effort to keep Harris County blue and win a Democratic 4-1 supermajority on Harris County Commissioners Court included work by amazing @harrisdemocrats volunteers, clubs and organizations, Precinct Chairs, allied stakeholders and others. I couldn’t be more proud!
Some non-scientific analysis on the Harris County Judge election ⬇️
It's interesting that Mealer, whose campaign spent millions painting Hidalgo as weak on crime, made little-to-no observable headway in the areas most affected by violent crime, compared to the 2018 election.
The far Right came after Judge Lina Hidalgo with millions of dollars. A comprehensive GOTV effort that was months in the planning fought back and kept Harris County Blue. But is was narrow. A win is a win though. 2.
Earlier this summer, Harris County commsioner Jack Cagle voted against a resolution to honor me for my activism work in the county court.
Last week I voted ,as one of his constituents, for his democratic opponent @LesleyBrionesTX.
Last night, she flipped that seat. 💙
Thank you @LinaHidalgoTX for the kind words. Let’s all enjoy our wins this week & be ready together for the fights and successes ahead. #AllDemsOnDeck
Voters chose reason and facts over fear-mongering.
They saw through the political smokescreen pushed by the GOP & establishment organizations intent on reverting Harris County back to the broken criminal justice policies that have failed our community for so long.
Criminal justice reform was on the ballot in Harris County this past week & the public affirmed the course Democrats have set for the county. This despite all the Republican money & lies. We need to begin now for 2024 highlighting that the judicial extremism is on the right.
The voting success we had at UH wouldn’t be possible without groups like @UHDems, @deedsatuh, NextGenUH, Students For Beto, JOLT, Texas Rising, and other student engagement orgs who took the challenge to register voters and get them to the polls.
Now we can begin to help more local voters understand that “making investments in early childhood education,” as @LinaHidalgoTX has done,” *is* “fighting crime.” They are connected. It just takes longer than an election cycle. https://t.co/qTUMF1Yr58
“Hidalgo instantly became a political rising star when she won in 2018. With another victory, in the face of even steeper odds, she’s only cemented her stature in Texas politics.” https://t.co/7zZiU2qGvw
Tomorrow, we salute our heroes.
Join us for the City of Houston’s #VeteransDay ceremony at 10am and then the parade at 11:30am.
Let’s honor those who have served our country.
Congratulations to Judge Hidalgo, Commissioner Garcia, and Commissioner-Elect Lesley Briones who made history Tuesday as the second woman elected as a Harris County Commissioner in her own right.
