The Harris County district attorney’s office and Texas Rangers seized computer...
Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo speaks at a news conference last year. Texas Rangers on Friday searched the Harris County administrative building in a probe related to a COVID-19 vaccine outreach contract awarded last year.
Sources said the search centered on the since-canceled contract Commissioners Court awarded last June for vaccine outreach to Elevate Strategies, a communications firm with ties to Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia and other Democrats. Felicity Pereyra, who runs the firm, worked on Garcia’s 2015 mayoral campaign and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential bid.
“The judge has the strictest ethical guidelines ever imposed in Harris County and that’s been ironclad from day one,” said Ashlee McFarlane, Hidalgo’s attorney. “This is nothing but political theater since the devices would have been provided on request. What’s missing is any shred of evidence, but what’s in abundance is politics.”
