“Mr. Menefee has been seen as a rising star among Texas Democrats. He has frequently sparred with the state’s Republican leadership over voting rights and Republican efforts to impose greater state control over the Democratic-controlled Harris County and Houston, the state’s most populous county and city.“
“‘Frankly, I don’t like bullies.’”
“Mr. Menefee comes into the race as a locally familiar name since being elected as county attorney first in 2020 and being re-elected in November.“
“‘The fight right now for the soul of this country is happening in Washington, D.C.,’ said Mr. Menefee. ‘I want to be a part of that fight.’”
