- Office of County Judge Lina Hidalgo
Judge Lina Hidalgo is the head of Harris County’s governing body. She is the first woman to be elected County Judge and only the second to be elected to the Commissioners Court. Harris County is the third largest county in our nation. Its population of more than 4.5 million rivals that of the entire state of Colorado. The Harris County Judge and four County Commissioners oversee a $4.3 billion budget that helps fund key county services and institutions. The County Judge is the presiding officer on the Commissioners Court. As the main governing body of Harris County, the Commissioners Court plays a critical role that is part administrative, part legislative, and part judicial. Its many responsibilities include adopting a budget; setting tax rates; calling for bond elections; building and maintaining county infrastructure such as roads and bridges; and overseeing county courthouses, jails, libraries, parks, and the Harris County Flood Control District. By state law, the County Judge is also the county’s director of emergency management, leading the Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM). In addition to her formal duties, Judge Hidalgo plays an important advocacy role for the County. Judge Hidalgo believes that our region will remain competitive only through proactive and creative leadership on issues like flood control, transportation, criminal justice reform, and education. She is committed to ensuring that Harris County government is transparent, accessible, and accountable to every resident. She wants Harris County to be a place where everyone can attain the American Dream.

Comments
@realDonaldTrump If the CDC can show "PROOF" of past years Comorbidities being lower than 2020, ONLY then can they say Covid-19 is a Pandemic! Otherwise this has been a FAKE Pandemic, and people's heads NEED to roll, for causing this Hysteria!
@realDonaldTrump CovidGate! Tests are NO good, and CDC admits ONLY 6% of deaths can be blamed on Covid ALONE! Morbid diseases that occur EVERY year ANYWAY, are the MAJORITY of ALL the deaths blamed on Covid! MuellerGate wasn't bad enough!
So, tests for Covid-19 have been indicating positive, even if we are NOT contagious, or ill, and even if we are immune! Coupled with CDC admits that ONLY 6% of all deaths can ACTUALLY be blamed on Covid-19 ALONE! Can we declare this is CovidGate, and get on with our lives!
It's the Comorbidities that are doing ALL the killing! CDC just reported 2-3 on average for 94% of ALL Covid cases! And these Comorbidities are happening every year, even withOUT Covid to blame!
The US is an UNhealthy country to begin with! If you look at the #s for any given year, Cancer, Heart disease, Pneumonia, Flu, Emphysema, Diabetes, Morbidly obese, and a host of other illnesses, has NOT changed, due to Covid-19 alone!
As Real Pandemics go, Covid-19 "alone", can NOT be even declared an Epidemic! At less than 10,000 deaths in the US, that cited NO other reason could be found, we should be lucky IF we ever have a Flu season this mild!
@GovAbbott @realDonaldTrump TX Gov Abbott should NOT be so gullible as to believe Covid #s he is getting from Harris & Dallas counties! Those districts are ruining small businesses with manipulated "data", and need to be AUDITED!
NOTE: These CDC numbers are in the MILLIONS, for 2018! Covid-19 has NOT been credited with killing even 1 Million yet! It's the Comorbidities that are doing the killing!
We all knew the numbers were wrong, time to open the county back up TOTALLY. No unconstitutional mask orders or business closures.
Censorship bitch.
So what is the plan to end the Covid charade? Gonna wait for zero cases, when there are thousands of false positives? What is your plan?
