During a discussion about Harris County's lawsuit against the state over a law that eliminates the county's election administrator position, Christian Menefee told ABC13 he plans to run for reelection.
Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee joined Eyewitness News at 9 a.m. to discuss the battle over Senate Bill 1750, and announced his intent to run for reelection.
"This is just the latest example of our state legislators trying to undermine Harris County elections. In 2020, when we had the innovation of drive-thru voting, the very next legislative session, Republicans in Austin passed a law to ban it. When we did 24-hour voting, they passed a law to ban it. When we had record-breaking voting by mail, again, they passed a law to ban it," Menefee said.
"We've sued them because this law violates the Texas constitution," Menefee said. "It will only ever apply to Harris County, and the Texas legislator is not authorized to violate our constitution."
