Adrian Garcia — Harris County Commissioner Precinct 2

East Harris County families have a commissioner who knows flood control from the ground up. Adrian Garcia represents Precinct 2, covering the East End, northeast Houston, Galena Park, and communities across east Harris County where working families face flooding year after year.

Garcia brings deep experience to flood fights. He served as Harris County Sheriff from 2008 to 2016 before joining the Commissioner's Court. Many neighborhoods in his precinct got hit hard during Hurricane Harvey and later storms. Garcia pushes for flood mitigation money to flow to east Harris County communities that need it most.

The precinct covers neighborhoods with large Latino working-class populations. Garcia focuses on infrastructure that keeps people safe and services that help families thrive. Commissioners control county budgets, approve major construction projects, and decide how tax money gets spent on roads, parks, and flood control.

Garcia sits on Harris County Commissioner's Court, which meets most Tuesdays. The court sets policy for a county of 4.7 million people. Each commissioner represents about one million residents in their precinct. Garcia's voice carries weight on flood control decisions because his communities live with the consequences of those choices every hurricane season.

People in Precinct 2 can contact Garcia's office about county services, road problems, or flooding concerns. His office helps connect residents to county departments and programs. Commissioner meetings are open to the public at 1001 Preston Street in downtown Houston.
