Not a wannabe Politician, but a wannabe Public Servant. Running for Harris County Judge to #StopTaxpayerExploitation . Unaffiliated Write-In Candidate.

Harris County, Texas
Don't be fooled by public theater. The 4 commissioners only need 3 votes to approve any contract, proposal, or massive tax increase. They can bypass the County Judge entirely. If a County Judge just complains but doesn't deploy their full team and tools to stop $305,000 raises and historic property tax hikes, they are just playing along. Whether Democrat or Republican, these career politicians protect their party, political friends and donors. We need an independent -minded County Judge who will truly fight for responsible spending and taxpayer protection. And that’s me. #harriscountytx #HTX #Htown #LocalPolitics
🗓️ “We did not need to be discussing this in October,” Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo said Thursday. Pct. 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia wasn’t in Commissioners Court Thursday, so the court talked about pushing its Flock camera discussion. Judge Lina Hidalgo said she couldn’t stay that late and that she’s been asking to talk about it since June. #HoustonNews #FlockCameras

Gina Hinojosa's "Debate" Challenge - Two podiums (on non-ADA compliant areas). - Multiple calls for debates. - Abbott lets the calls go to voicemail. - I answer the call. - Line is disconnected. Are yall sick of mommy and daddy fighting (democrats and republicans) as much as I am? Are yall tired of being manipulated in to only "two-choices" that in reality is actually one? Enough. Vote Jenn Mack via Write-In for Governor of Texas on November 3rd. I'm a Constitutional Independent, unowned by any political party. Not Red, Not Blue, Just Texas. #texas #democrat #republican #txlege #JennMack

I’m going to be voting for Jen Mack. I don’t agree with everything she says, and I’m definitely not on board with some of her views. But there are points she makes that I do agree with, and between the three choices, I’d pick her over the other two major candidates for governor. x.com/iamtheglitch_tx/status…
WRITE IN, INDEPENDENT, JENN MACK FOR GOVERNOR!

I Showed Up to Debate Both Their Records @GinaHinojosaTX has been calling out @GregAbbott_TX to debate knowing he’ll never show up. But when I, a certified Independent Write-In candidate, answer that call to debate on both of their records, Gina’s response is to have me forcibly removed from the stage. Did Gina really want to debate? Or was she just playing off Greg Abbotts unwillingness to debate for poll numbers knowing that she herself can't defend her own record? Texans have another choice that is free from the establishment control. Vote Jenn Mack via Write-In for Governor of Texas on November 3rd. I'm a Constitutional Independent, unowned by any political party. Not Red, Not Blue, Just Texas. #texas #republican #democrat #JennMack #independent

Replying to @texasforgina
'Man enough to debate'? Independent candidate Jenn Mack showed up to debate Gina, and Gina had her hauled off stage. Sounds like she isn't ready for the job either. 👇
🚨 JENN MACK HAULED OFF STAGE! @GinaHinojosaTX has been calling out @GregAbbott_TX to debate knowing he’ll never show up. But when a certified Independent Write-In candidate @IamtheGlitch_TX answers the call to debate on both of their records, Gina’s response is to have her forcibly removed from the stage. Did Gina really want to debate? Or is she just playing off Greg Abbotts cowardice for the polls knowing that she herself can defend her own record? This is just pure hypocrisy.

Every judicial race on our ballot impacts our rights. I have firsthand experience in this judge’s courtroom. I’ll be dropping a long post or video soon to share my story and what happened. c.org/hdrvMp2gD8 #harriscountytexas #Houston #Austin #TexasPolitics

Stop settling for the "lesser of two evils." This election is your chance to break the cycle. Choose fair, transparent, and accountable leadership that serves the people, not outside interests.

I wouldn’t be in this race if the Commissioners Court hadn’t approved $305,000 salaries for constables and other elected officials—with support from both parties. Elected officials are supposed to be public servants. But giving them $305,000 salaries while the average family here makes only $75,000 a year is ridiculous. The relationship has completely flipped. The public has become the servant. So, I joined the race because of those salaries, but the more I looked, the more issues I found. Now I have a long To-Do list for Harris County. These are my core pledges to protect your taxpayer money and fix what is broken. #HarrisCounty #Election2026 #HoustonVotes #WriteInYanHessOnTheBallot

I didn't want to spend the next 4 years complaining while our property taxes went up. With 10 days left before the deadline, I paid the $1,250 fee and joined the race to speak for regular people. #HarrisCounty #HoustonVotes #CountyJudge #WriteInYanHessOnTheBallot

I’m voting for Write-in Avery Ayers. I’m not picking either of the other two. James Talarico pulled in about $68 million, and Republican groups are lining up around $166 million in ads for Ken Paxton. That’s not “support,” that’s an investment. Nobody moves that kind of money unless they expect a return. And that return isn’t for regular people’s benefit. It’s for the donors — the ones who get the meetings, the phone calls, and the votes when their bills come up. Regular people don’t get that. We get crumbs. And let’s be real — one seat is one vote out of 100, and half the stuff they’re promising isn’t even something one senator can do. The media treats it like a boxing match because the fight pays. Stations sell the ads. Campaigns buy the ads. They made it into a show, and a lot of people fell for it. I’m not voting for Ken Paxton. Impeached by his own party’s House, acquitted by the Senate, securities case, whistleblower judgment — that’s the record. I’m not sending that to Washington, and I’m not impressed that his side thinks nine‑figure ad buys are how you earn a seat. @AveryCampaign is a write‑in from Jersey Village, Air Force, not a funded machine. That’s the point. My vote is for a regular person, not whoever won the auction. We need regular people in the Senate too — it’s already packed with career politicians. #TexasSenate #TexasPolitics #WriteInAveryAyers

Housing is a basic need, and skyrocketing property taxes affect affordability for everyone. As a homeowner, landlord, small business owner, DIYer, and pro se litigant, I’m a regular person who deals with the system firsthand. I don’t just talk about the struggle—I live it. I truly understand the challenges of regular people because I am one of you. I’m running as an unaffiliated candidate because career politicians simply don’t get it. They vote for massive spending hikes and expect taxpayers to pick up the tab. I’m in this race for the people. I will protect your home and your tax dollars, struggling or not, because every single taxpayer needs to be respected by the government. #HarrisCounty #HarrisCountyJudge #HoustonVotes #KatyTX

What’s up with this? The author of the bill practically forgot what he wrote. The statute clearly says that the chief is exempt, right there on page one, but his letter is hinting at something completely different. It kind of feels like someone’s playing with the people here. I told you, it’s not Red vs Blue. It’s Regular People vs Career politicians. #HarrisCounty #PayParity #ClearAspageOne #HTX

A plan that adds spending cannot lower the property tax rate unless Plummer and Sanchez name what comes out. They did not. Can you trust the sweet talk? We already know what they did with our tax dollars. Different person. Same kind of politician. This fight is not Red vs Blue. It is Regular People vs Career Politicians and their Big Time Donors. Do not waste your vote. Read the claim, then read the plan. If they do not match, it is not a tax cut. My priority is to lower the county property tax rate. Cut excess. Cut waste. The term is 4 years. You cannot afford to make a mistake. My name will not be on the ballot. Tap write-in and type Yan Hess. #HarrisCounty #VoteYanHess4CountyJudge #HTX #HoustonVotes
The last thing Harris County families need is a higher tax bill. I would reverse the property tax increase, fund Harris Health so you have healthcare, make sure you are not flooding every time it rains, and invest in the Harris Center and Justice to Workforce.

Others claim they will lower property taxes but their plans completely contradict those promises. Don’t fall for smooth talk. #HarrisCounty #HoustonVotes #PropertyTaxes #VoteYanHess

Had a great time at my first candidate forum last night! Huge thanks to @LWVHouston , @KHOU , @queondamagazine , and @uhdowntown for hosting, and @lencannonKHOU for being a reassuring moderator. Watch the full forum tonight, 7pm, on the KHOU 11 app! And please pardon my first-time stage jitters, rushed answers, and lack of mirror time! 😅 Polished or not, my message stays clear: I’m fighting for lower property tax burdens, fiscal discipline, and honest leadership. Thank you too to my fellow candidates — the forum wouldn’t have happened without everyone showing up to inform Harris County! #HarrisCounty #WriteInYanHessOnTheBallot #YanHessForCountyJudge #HTXPolitics #HoustonVotes
The candidates seeking to replace Lina Hidalgo also explained how they would lead Harris County through hurricanes, freezes and prolonged power outages. khou.com/article/news/politi…

I take back what I said about news outlets ignoring write-in candidates. @KHOU is the exception, and shoutout to @LWVHouston , @uhdowntown , and @queondamagazine for putting this forum together. FYI, first time doing this — don’t roast me.😁 #HarrisCounty #HoustonVotes #LocalGovernment #PropertyTax
