Christian Menefee
We will be doing two races again this week, Harris County Attorney and Harris County District Attorney. Christian Menefee was elected Harris County Attorney in 2020 after knocking off three-term incumbent Vince Ryan in that year’s primary. The youngest person and first African American to be elected Harris County Attorney, Menefee came in with an agenda to be more aggressive in protecting voting rights and enforcing environmental laws. His office has been busy filing lawsuits, often against the state, on those matters and others, from facemask bans to the “Death Star” and beyond. There’s sure to be more of that in the future, and we talked about what the past four years have been like as well as what we have to look forward to. Here it is:
