She's the head of the Harris County Commissioners court.

"During times of emergency, Lina is also Harris County’s Director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. In that capacity, she has steered the community through several natural and man-made disasters.


The Commissioners Court plays a critical role that is part administrative and part legislative. Its many responsibilities include adopting a budget, building and maintaining county infrastructure such as roads and bridges, and overseeing services like courthouses, hospitals, libraries, and parks.
