Stang retention involves more than hourly wage. Employees must feel relatively safe, appreciated, and see opportunities for advancement. None of which are present in the jail. I will work to make the pay competitive, improve the standards of continuing education and will promote from within the department. How would you address understa ng at Harris County jails?
Harris County sheri
Why are you running for Harris County sheri?
Law enforcement has always been a passion. I see what is going on in Harris County and believe I can do a better job. The sheri should be an advocate for the people of Harris County. I will be advocating for public safety to be priority No. 1 in Harris County.

As sheri, public safety is always my north star. We’re bringing accountability by requiring body cameras for all deputies and detention ocers. We’re making our county stronger against natural disasters, leading rescue operations during emergencies. We’re doing more to keep women and families safe. I am the only pro-choice candidate.
Our jail is now in full compliance with the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. I’ve advocated for higher pay for our detention personnel, and as a result, our workforce is more stable and attrition rates have improved. We are now consistently hiring more ocers and sta than are leaving.
