Lina Hidalgo on her political future, I-45 and lowering Harris County's COVID threat level
During the pandemic Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has been one of Texas’ most consistent voices of caution. Elected in 2018 at age 27, she’s basically the CEO of Texas’ largest county — one that, with a population around 4.8 million, is the size of an average American state.
In June 2020, as infections were surging, Hidalgo announced that Harris County was at COVID threat Level 1 — red on the danger dial, the scariest and worst, with everyone urged to stay home. Now, almost a year later, with vaccines available for anyone who shows up, we’re still there. Will we ever get out? How will she know it’s time?
