Meet Lina Hidalgo
"TRAILBLAZING WOMAN OF COLOR AWARD WINNER"
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: Keep a close eye on this "TRAILBLAZING WOMAN OF COLOR" in 2018. Born in Colombia at the height of the drug war, Lina Hidalgo and her family arrived in Houston knowing pretty much nobody according to her. However, she seized nearly every opportunity made available to her and was able to attend great public schools and world-class universities in her opinion. What Lina wants most is to “HARNESS THE POWER OF HARRIS COUNTY” and for every Harris County resident to have a fair chance to succeed -- like she was afforded. If duly-elected on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Election taking place in Harris County she plans to use the attention that comes with leading the third largest County (in the most powerful country in the world) to stand up for underserved communities in Harris County on issues like immigration and bail reform. A strong believer that every vote matters, Lina feels like 2018 is the perfect time for Harris County voters to elect fresh new leadership. But there's a little problem, Lina has chosen to challenge one of the most powerful elected officials in all of Harris County – Judge Ed Emmett. But hey, she’s already gotten a break -- initially, Lina was facing a Democratic Primary challenge from fellow Democrat Mike Nichols on Tuesday, March 6, 2018; but Nichols withdrew from the race. Now, the only thing standing between our “TRAILBLAZING WOMAN OF COLOR” and her date with destiny is a showdown with Judge Ed Emmett on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. But unseating one of the most powerful men in all of Harris County won’t be easy. We say this because you have to keep in mind that only one woman has ever been duly-elected to Harris County Commissioners Court. And the current Commissioners Court is comprised of only men. So, to be sure, in this “YEAR OF NOW” Lina Hidalgo at the very least has a puncher’s chance to break through – but other people of color will have to turn out for her in overwhelming numbers for her to have a shot at unseating Judge Ed Emmett.
"A TRAILBLAZING WOMAN OF COLOR"
Get this, last year in Virginia, New Jersey, and other states, progressive women, and women of color made history up and down ballots. Right here in Harris County, progressive candidates showed pure dominance as they pretty much ran-the-table in HISD Board Trustee and HCCS Board Trustee races. In Boston, six women of color were elected to Boston’s city council. And over in Virginia, Danica Roem became the first openly transgender person ever to be elected to serve in the state legislature by beating a 13-term incumbent. Could Lina Hidalgo be the one? Only time will tell -- so keep a close eye on this “GREAT WOMAN OF COLOR” on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 in the Midterm Election for Harris County, Texas.
