OUR FIERCEST DEFENDER AGAINST DONALD TRUMP AND GREG ABBOTT
A Message from
County Attorney Abbie Kamin
When Donald Trump and Greg Abbott come for our families here in Harris County, I won’t flinch, fold, or be intimidated. I will do what I’ve always done: fight for all of our families as fiercely as I fight for my own.
As a civil rights attorney, I took on Greg Abbott and Ken Paxton to protect our voting rights. As a nonprofit leader, I took on Neo-Nazi hate groups to keep Houston area families safe from bigotry and violence. As a City Council Member, I took on domestic abuse and gun violence, protected our neighborhoods from nuisances and neglect, and took on Greg Abbott again when he withheld flood protection funds from Houstonians.
As Harris County Attorney, the chief civil law officer for Texas’ largest county, I lead the hardworking professionals of the County Attorney’s Office as we fight:
-
For parents, and grandparents who are vulnerable to neglect and exploitation
-
For children whose health is threatened by toxic dust from concrete batch plants and polluted air and water
-
For survivors who need protection from domestic violence and abuse
-
For families at risk of flooding, or living in unsafe conditions because a landlord refuses to follow the law
-
For workers, neighborhoods, and communities who need someone in their corner
-
And for the institutions that make that protection possible: our courts, our laws, our local government, and the democratic rights of every resident in Harris County.
Please join me, and together, we can build a county that is strong enough to stop Trump, Democratic enough to restore our faith in local government, safe enough to live in without fear, and affordable enough to live comfortably and build a bright future for the next generation.
