‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ Written by Cynthia Calvert Published: 04 May 2021 Harris County Commissioner Jack Cagle recently told the Kingwood Area Republican Women his take on ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of current conditions in Harris County. Cagle, a Republican, sits on the county’s preeminent decision-making board, albeit in the minority. He is a Republican and one of two on the five-seat group. “There are many, many 3-2 votes,” he said to the ladies’ April luncheon. In the 2018 election, dozens of Republicans lost their positions when a Democratic surge sent dozens of officials home, including County Judge Ed Emmett, who was replaced by Lina Hidalgo.
