After a night of trailing behind his opponent, former Harris County sheriff and Democrat Adrian Garcia appears poised to narrowly beat Republican incumbent Jack Morman in the race for Harris County Precinct 2 commissioner during Tuesday’s election.

For hours after polls closed, Morman stayed narrowly ahead of Garcia in the polls, but the gap closed and eventually flipped in Garcia’s favor. With 250 of 255 precincts reporting, Garcia gained 112,356 votes, or 50.25 percent overall. Morman won 111,226 votes, or 49.75 percent overall.

Garcia has said in a past interview with Community Impact Newspaper that he wants to create family-sustaining jobs, foster economic development, ensure equity in flood-protection projects, fight pollution, protect immigrants, develop strong schools, support affordable health care and reform criminal justice.

Garcia has developed a flood protection plan that identifies actions such as maintaining storm sewers, building more detention basins and buying out flood-prone homes. He wants to work with other entities to enhance road connections between residential areas and key hubs.

All results are unofficial until canvassed.
