Lina Hidalgo 28yrs old – Houston, TX | Harris County Judge. Attorney Lina Hidalgo, made made big news during the 2018 Texas midterms, when she – at 27 years old – flipped the seat for Harris County Judge, from red to blue! Harris County, the largest county in Texas and third largest in the nation, was a seat that had been held for over 10 years by a Republican, white, male, and is now under the leadership of a Democratic, young, immigrant, Latina. Lina makes history as the first female, and the youngest, to be elected Harris County Judge!

Attorney, Texas native, fuerza Latina, representing the frontera, and a current Democratic Congressional candidate, Cisneros is most definitely one to watch. She is blazing trails in South Texas and we KNOW she is about to make history in 2020!
