The Alexandra del Moral Mealer Campaign, a political campaign supporting Alexandra del Moral Mealer for Harris County Judge, will host an event Aug. 13 to film a campaign ad and give away 300 backpacks.
The event will take place from 2 – 4 p.m. at Campbell Hall, Pasadena Convention Center, 7601 Red Bluff Road, Pasadena, Texas. Visitors must register for the event.
"Come on out for the Alexandra del Moral Mealer Campaign Kickoff and Backpack Giveaway," read an event advertisement on Eventbrite. "300 backpacks first come, first serve. We will have food, family fun for all ages, and music. We will be shooting a campaign ad, so please bring out your entire family and all your friends to show broad support for the campaign to take back Harris County."
Del Moral Mealer is a combat veteran, who served in the Army as an explosive ordnance disposal officer, according to her campaign website. She deployed in support of operations in Afghanistan.
After her service in the Army, del Moral Mealer attended and graduated from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School.
Originally from Sacramento, California, del Moral Mealer is a mother of two and lives in Houston, Texas.
"I firmly believe that the government derives its power from the people and exists to serve its constituents," del Moral Mealer said. "It is not the government’s job to raise your kids or run your business. It is, however, the government’s job to provide a safe and secure community with well-maintained public infrastructure that supports growth and opportunity for all residents. Under Judge Lina Hidalgo, the Harris County Commissioner’s Court has failed us on all fronts."
"I am ready and able to hold Judge Lina Hidalgo accountable for her failed policies,” she said. “It’s time to stand for Harris County—we cannot sit back and watch our community stumble into one crisis after another."
