COMMISSIONER · HARRIS COUNTY PRECINCT 2
County Commissioner Adrian Garcia won’t let anyone or anything stop him from fighting for our families.
He's One of Us.
The youngest child of Mexican immigrants, Adrian grew up in Houston’s Northside, working in his dad’s auto repair shop. He is a humble, hard-working public servant who put in 23 years as a Houston police officer, became a Houston City Council member and mayor pro-tem, and served Harris County as sheriff.
Today, Adrian is completing his second term as Harris County Commissioner for Precinct 2. Through fires, floods and the pandemic, he has been a steady hand who stays focused on what matters most for our families.
Adrian’s priorities are simple: lowering costs for families, being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars, keeping our neighborhoods safe, and protecting our homes from flooding.
“You will always have my blessings,” Adrian’s dad said to his son, “if you promise me this: Don’t be ashamed that you are Mexican; don’t be ashamed that your name is Garcia; don’t bring shame to your name; be honest; and never forget where you come from!”
Adrian lives in the same neighborhood where he grew up, and he still lives by the same rules laid down by his dad. Adrian Garcia is one of us.
Trustworthy, Responsible Leadership.
Responsible leadership means putting the community and families first in every decision Adrian makes and every action he takes. It means keeping his focus on public safety, making life more affordable, and keeping families safe and healthy from threats like flooding and pollution.
When Harris County faced a budget shortfall last year, Adrian made the hard call — cutting wasteful spending rather than raising taxes on working families. He cut property taxes for seniors and people with disabilities to make sure that, if they own an average-priced home in Harris County, they now pay zero dollars in county property taxes.
Adrian secured more than half a billion dollars for flood control projects and completed over five million feet of ditch and drainage maintenance to help keep homes and businesses safe. He expanded job training and apprenticeship programs so more residents can get the skills they need for good-paying jobs. And he improved emergency response to chemical plant leaks and reduced toxic pollution along the Ship Channel so families have cleaner air and safe drinking water.
Keeping families safe has always been at the center of Adrian’s work. Adrian created the VIPER task force to target repeat violent offenders and clear thousands of outstanding warrants, and last year expanded the Holistic Assistance Response Team (HART) program countywide, sending mental health professionals to respond to crises so officers can focus on violent crime. He also made sure our deputies and police officers got the pay raise they deserve, because keeping our communities safe is never where we cut corners.
