Letitia Plummer
I am uniquely qualified to serve as Harris County Judge, bringing a blend of executive experience and a real commitment to equity. As a small business owner for 25 years and a Houston City Council Member, I have the fiscal discipline and leadership needed to manage our multibillion dollar budget on day one. As the most progressive candidate in this race, I am the leader Harris County needs to move beyond the status quo with bold, future focused solutions. My record shows I do not back down. I have led through six major disasters, fought for environmental justice in the 5th Ward, and passed landmark apartment reforms. I am a principled advocate who will challenge the establishment to ensure accountability and fairness for every resident.
