Contributions to the Harris County Commissioner's Court


Harris County Commissioners Court members — commissioners Jerry Eversole, Sylvia Garcia, El Franco Lee and Steve Radack; former county judge Robert Eckels and current judge Ed Emmett — have raised more than $10 million for their campaigns since 2003, despite rarely facing significant challengers.

This database contains a record of each donation made since January 2003, as reported in campaign filings kept by Harris County Clerk Beverly Kaufman’s office. Court members may accept checks of any size but are not allowed to provide favorable treatment in direct exchange for contributions.
