Good first step: Act Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis's Office
Visit rodneyellis.com or call Precinct 1 to ask how to sign up for food programs or get help with voter registration in Harris County.
Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis's office turns county policy into real action for residents. Their initiatives tackle food access, economic inequality, and fair elections — with equity, fairness, and justice at the center of every effort.
The office runs several active initiatives. One focuses on securing access to food and supporting community health. Another created a county department dedicated to addressing economic inequity. A third works to protect fair, free, and safe elections across Harris County.
Visit the initiatives page to learn what each program does and who it serves. If one connects to a need in your life or your neighborhood, look for contact details or program information on that specific initiative. You can also share what you learn with neighbors who might benefit.

These initiatives touch on several areas that matter across Houston and Harris County — hunger relief, economic opportunity, and civic participation. If you're already connected with local food pantries, workforce programs, or voter assistance groups, these county efforts may complement the work already happening in your neighborhood.
Good policy alone isn't enough. Commissioner Ellis's office believes the real work happens when those policies reach the people who need them most. These initiatives are designed to close gaps — in food access, economic opportunity, and voting rights — for Harris County residents.
