Two Young Women’s Battle


Current Democratic Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and Republican challenger Alexandra del Moral Mealer are in a tough fight in coming election.


Harris County, with more than 4.5 million in population, is the third largest county in the nation. The county government manages a multi-billion dollar  annual budget and is in charge of funding key services and infrastructure in the county.


31-year-old Hidalgo was a new face when she defeated Republican incumbent Ed Emmett in 2018. Born in Colombia, she moved to the Houston area as a teenager in 2013. She graduated from Stanford University and became U. S. citizen in the same year. She also enrolled in Harvard University, but she put her studies there on hold when she chose to run for office.


During her first term, Hidalgo was mostly focused on issues including flood control, criminal justice reform and government transparency. She was the first woman to ever become a Harris County judge.


Hidalgo’s 37-year-old challenger, Mealer, is originally from California. She is also a second generation Hispanic American, a West Point graduate, a combat veteran (Army Bomb Squad), a working mother with a successful career in energy finance with JD and MBA degrees from Harvard University.

Mealer said she would aggressively increase law enforcement funding, combat corruption and practice lower spending.


We as residents of Harris County, all of us, are very much concerned about our tax increases and public safety issues. The November election is very important to all of us.
