Garza will open wide the windows of the AG's office, airing out a vital state agency that has been thoroughly sullied by the current officeholder.   We recommend Adrian Garcia for Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 2 By The Editorial Board Garcia has notable blemishes on his record, but it's hard to argue with the results he's achieved on criminal justice reform, environmental justice and health care for long-neglected neighborhoods in his precinct.   Watch: Hidalgo asks Mealer if she accepts Biden's win in 2020 By The Editorial Board After an hour of answering questions from the board, Judge Lina Hidalgo turned to challenge Alez Mealer and asked if she would unequivocally "acknowledge here and acknowledge publicly to her supporters" that Joe Biden won the presidency. Mealer asked Hidalgo if she would share her travel records to show how much time she spends in Harris County.     From our readers   1960s voter suppression was appalling. Have we learned nothing?
