Republicans and Democrats are headed to the polls today to decide who will lead their parties in the November election to replace Lina Hidalgo as Harris County judge.
On the Republican side, Orlando Sanchez is seeking to make a return to Houston politics after an eight-year hiatus from office…
Sanchez spent nearly 12 years as Harris County treasurer, serving from 2007 to 2018, when Democrats swept into power across county government. Prior to becoming treasurer, Sanchez was a Houston City Council member from 1995 to 2001. He ran for mayor in 2001 and 2003, and for city controller in 2019 and 2023.
Sanchez campaigned as an established conservative with the experience and knowledge to be an effective champion for local Republicans.
