  • Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo fired back on Saturday at suggestions that the judge's personal struggles with depression would be a factor in her decision not to run, a claim Hidalgo deflected this week.

Lina Hidalgo, the Harris County Judge, has publicly discussed her struggle with depression, which led to her taking a leave of absence for treatment. In an interview with MSNBC, she emphasized that her mental health challenges do not render her unfit for office. Hidalgo highlighted the importance of addressing mental health openly, especially in leadership roles, to destigmatize the issue.
