Bay Area Houston

As of today there are 3 candidates who have filed to challenge Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo. The first campaign finance reports dropped yesterday. You can find the reports here. The County doesn’t make it easy to review the filings. I have summarized the numbers below.

Judge Lina Hidalgo
Hidalgo raised $30,339, spent $141,460, has an outstanding loan balance of $51,400 and has a Cash On Hand (COH) total of $600,492. The COH includes a refund from various legal organizations of over $650,000. Most of her donations are small with a few at $5000.

Former Mayor Annise Parker (Democrat)
Annise Parker has one of the best resumes of the bunch. She was Mayor of Houston for two terms, Controller, and a City Council Member. She has raised $96,105, spent $9,793, and has a COH of $92,755 with no outstanding loans. $40,000 came from 3 donors.

City Council Member Leticia Plummer
Plummer has not filed a report for this period.
