HARRIS COUNTY TEXAS
At Texas & America First, our main goal is to prioritize Texas. We work to identify and eliminate RINOs, as some members of the Texas Legislature are and act as liberal Marxists disguised as conservatives. Our focus is on revealing the records of our legislative representatives at both the state and federal levels. We aim to present the facts clearly so you can make informed voting decisions. We will endeavor to compile all voting records for your benefit.
Harris County has a very unfriendly website if looking for local election information. An informed voter is not something they are after. Check out the site at: https://www.harriscountytx.gov/
The Harris County Clerk's page is very poor if you’re looking for voting information. It does not even say who the County Clerk is. Check it out at https://311.harriscountytx.gov/home?id=search&spa=1&q=county%20clerk
We did find the County Clerk, Teneshia Hudspeth, who has a page that we located. https://cclerk.hctx.net/This site does not provide information about upcoming elections, candidates, or the ballot. The county clerk is responsible for overseeing elections. So far, the Harris County website is just taking up space, providing us with no information.
We did find information on the upcoming school board election on November 4, 2025 at: https://ballotpedia.org/Harris_County,_Texas,_elections,_2025
We will more into the School boards at later date.
Now searching more we found: https://www.harrisvotes.com/Voter/View-information-for-upcoming-Elections.This site says it has information on the November 4, 2025, General and Special Elections. Searching through this page, we did go through 2 clicks to find a sample ballot at:
We will have more information on this after we review the names running for US District 18. There are 16 names running.
US Houe District 18
The Texas Legislature voted to redraw the state’s congressional district boundaries, including those of the 18th District, in August 2025. Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed the new map into law on August 29, 2025. The new map is not scheduled to take effect until after the special election, but it will take effect before the March 2026 primary. Click here to learn more about redistricting in Texas ahead of the 2026 elections.
Sixteen candidates are running in the special general election for Texas’s 18th US Congressional District on November 4, 2025.
Candidates from all parties are running in the election, and if no one wins an outright majority, the top two candidates will advance to a runoff.
This special election might influence legislative votes in the US House. Since Leftist Democrat Turner’s seat is vacant, the House currently has 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. The narrow margin means the America First GOP should watch out for RINOs voting Democrat.

Many ask what a county Judge is.
The county judge is the most visible official in county government. Often thought of as the county’s chief executive officer, a county judge has broad judicial and administrative powers, including serving as the presiding officer of the county’s policy-making body, the Commissioners' Court. County judges are elected on a countywide basis for four years.
So, what is the Commissioners’ Court?
Commissioners' courts are the governing bodies of Texas counties, akin to county councils or boards of supervisors in other states. The county commissioners court conducts the general business of the county, including adopting the county’s budget and tax rate, authorizing contracts, filling vacancies, and setting salaries of county employees.
Each commissioners court in Texas has five members: the county judge and four commissioners. The commissioners' court fulfills a mix of legislative and executive functions, and the judge may fulfill judicial functions. Despite the name, Commissioners Courts do not have judicial powers. The County Judge, while presiding at the Commissioners Court, does not render judicial rulings.
County commissioners are elected in local precinct elections and each serve a four-year term. Since each county in Texas has four precincts, each commissioner represents approximately one-fourth of the county's population, although the exact population distribution can vary slightly depending on how the precincts are drawn. Elections are staggered so that the entire commissioners court cannot change in a single election. Instead, two commissioner seats are up for election every two years.
