Lina Hidalgo, the top elected official in Harris County, which includes Houston, says she will not run for re-election or any other office in 2026

«Ms. Hidalgo said her reason for retirement was that she did not want to hold onto the office for its own sake, rejecting what she said was the “empire mentality” of some politicians. She planned to announce her decision officially in a video on Tuesday.

“A lot of the problems in our politics these days come from this obsession with staying in power,” she said in the interview with The Times.»

Um… whut?
