.LinaHidalgoTX wins reelection for Harris County judge, overcoming a vigorous challenge from a well-funded Republican opponent, Alexandra del Moral Mealer. Mealer conceded the race Wednesday morning.
Despite unprecedented spending for a county judge race — Republican donors poured nearly $9 million since July into Mealer’s campaign — the GOP failed to take back a seat it lost four years ago.
Mealer attracted six-figure donations from the likes of Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, a well-known Houston business owner; Richard Weekley and Alan Hassenflu, Houston real estate developers and co-founders of Texans for Lawsuit Reform; Houston billionaire Jeffery Hildebrand; and the hard-right Defend Texas Liberty PAC, backed by donors including West Texas oil magnates Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks.
“This campaign was always about good government and I am hopeful that we have played a role encouraging that going forward,” Mealer said in a tweet.
