Good first step: Act Harris County Precinct 1 Staff Directory
Visit the Precinct 1 website and look up the team that handles your issue — then email or call that director directly. For example, for road problems, contact the Infrastructure team. For community events or help, try Community Affairs.
The Office of Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis (Precinct 1) is made up of several specialized teams. Each team has a director, a contact email, and a clear job to do for residents. Whether you need help with a neighborhood road, a community event, or a county policy question, there is a team ready to hear from you.
Precinct 1 runs nine teams. Executive Leadership coordinates everything across the office and with other county offices. The Commissioner's Engagement Team handles scheduling and direct communication with Commissioner Ellis. Budget and Finance manages funding and pays vendors. Communications writes and sends information to the public. Community Affairs and Advocacy shows up in neighborhoods, runs community meetings, and connects residents to resources like the Houston Food Bank. Development and Infrastructure takes care of roads, bridges, and parks. Policy develops proposals at Commissioners Court to improve quality of life. Programs creates activities for all ages, from environmental science for kids to drama for seniors. Shared Services keeps the office's facilities, technology, and vehicles running.
Think about what you need, then match it to the right team. Pothole on your street or a park that needs attention? Reach out to Development and Infrastructure. Want to know about a community event or resource in your area? Community Affairs and Advocacy is your contact. Have a question about a county policy or proposal? The Policy Team is the place to start. For general questions or media inquiries, Communications can point you in the right direction. Each team's director email is listed on the directory page, so you can write directly to the person in charge.

Not location-specific
Precinct 1 works alongside the other three Harris County precincts and the County Judge's Office. Community Affairs partners with local organizations such as the Houston Food Bank to connect residents with resources. The Policy Team brings proposals directly to Commissioners Court, the governing body that makes county-wide decisions.
Knowing who does what inside a commissioner's office saves you time. Instead of sending one email and hoping it lands in the right inbox, you can go straight to the team that handles your concern. That means faster answers and better results for you and your neighborhood.
