*Harris County DA Kim Ogg (D) getting crushed in the UH Hobby Polling Survey against Sean Teare (59%-21%): Ogg is seeking reelection to 3rd term. From what I've heard, former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), Harris County Judge Lina "Dora the Explorer" Hidalgo (D) & Harris County Commissioner Precinct 1 Rodney Ellis (D) have all endorsed Teare in the Democratic Party primary election for Harris County DA.

*Incumbent Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez (D) is safe in his reelection bid for 3rd term with 63%.
*Incumbent Harris County Attorney Christian Menifee (D) leading 41%-7% against his primary opponents.
*Open seat for Harris County Assessor: 67% undecided; with nobody above 12%.
