For the second time within the past two months, Harris County voters are casting their ballots to determine who will serve in newly elected positions on the Harris County Central Appraisal District’s board of directors.
The elected members will not be involved in the property valuation or appeal process. However, they will be tasked with hiring and firing chief appraisers. Roland Altinger has held the position of chief appraiser at the Harris County Appraisal District since 2016. “One wonders what the purpose of having this elective office is. It costs us hundreds of thousands, if not a million dollars in Harris County, to conduct the election,” he added. “For what, 35,000 people out of 2.6 million? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

The Harris County Republican Party selected Scott and McCrutcheon. Blueford-Daniels, Noriega and Adeleke received an additional endorsement from the left-leaning Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation. Scott and McCrutcheon also garnered support from the right-leaning C-Club.
