If you see Jane Fonda knocking on people's doors this weekend, it's not for Halloween.

The Academy Award-winning actress will be block walking with Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and the Texas Organizing Project Pact this weekend, ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

The event begins Saturday at 1 p.m. at Mason Park in the East End, according to the campaign. It appears to be part of a tour by the Jane Fonda Climate PAC that Fonda launched in March.....

The PAC endorsed Hidalgo, with the explanation that during her first term in office, "Hidalgo has prioritized tackling root causes and direct impacts of climate change and air pollution."

"While governing through multiple disasters, including Winter Storm Uri and various chemical explosions — time and again the judge and her team have invested in the communities most at risk, advanced green infrastructure, focused on preventing and mitigating future disasters and set a model for the rest of the nation as a renewable energy corridor."

1. Have you seen Fonda's Netflix show, Grace and Frankie?

With her 9-to-5 costar Lily Tomlin, not to mention a late cameo by their other co-star, Dolly Parton!
There's also a few handsome silver foxes-- Sam Elliott, Ernie Hudson.

Very funny show, and Fonda is great as the opposite of Nature Girl Mystic Lily.

Four years after she unexpectedly ousted a well-liked Republican to lead the nation’s third-most-populous county, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo is in a pitched reelection battle against a well-funded Republican opponent — imperiling her party’s hopes that the Democratic superstar could one day ascend to statewide office.

Hammering the 31-year-old incumbent over the county’s high number of homicides and the criminal indictment of three Hidalgo staffers, Republican Alexandra del Moral Mealer has mounted a robust challenge against Hidalgo — prompting GOP donors to open their wallets for the chance to halt Hidalgo’s political career and retake the seat they lost in 2018.

A West Point graduate and ex-Army captain who served for a decade in Afghanistan, Mealer has put Hidalgo on the defensive over the county’s crime numbers — which mirror trends seen in most major U.S. metropolitan areas during the COVID-19 pandemic — and a criminal court backlog that dates back to Hurricane Harvey, before Hidalgo took office.

Hidalgo and other county officials are “just not acknowledging the severity of the problem,” Mealer said.

Hidalgo has touted annual increases to the county’s public safety budget since she took office and sought to paint Mealer as an election denier — a label Mealer unequivocally rejects, as she says Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Hidalgo also has tried to tie Mealer to former President Donald Trump and the state’s abortion ban, which county judges have little to do with as the top elected officials in county government.
