What to expect from Lina Hidalgo and Harris County's expanded Democratic majority
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo gives a speech at the Harris County Democratic Party headquarters after being reelected for a second term on Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2022 in Houston. Hidalgo’s Republican opponent, Alexandra del Moral Mealer raised 4x the amount of fundraising money in her bid.
It also will prevent the lone Republican remaining on court, Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey from pulling off a quorum break as he did this year with Cagle to prevent the Democratic majority from passing its preferred property tax rate. While Mealer built significant grass-roots popularity fueled by a strong stream of Republican mega-donors and conservative political action committee funding, Hidalgo saw much of her support come from progressive groups like the Texas Organizing Project and the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation; union canvassers knocked on over 125,000 doors and made over 2.2 million calls reaching out to voters in support of Hidalgo, Garcia and Briones.
