The group of women, who were part of a local democratic campaign called "Black Girl Magic Texas," shook the Texas when they won their respective midterm elections in November. Although seem to be another election win, today they make up what is believed to be the largest group of black female judges to be elected at the same time in Harris County's history.
Harris County, which includes Houston, is the largest county in the state. According to the most recent census data, 43% of people in Harris County are Hispanic, and nearly 20% of the county's residents identify as African-American.
The Harris County Democratic Party posted photos of the swearing-in ceremony, which took place on Tuesday morning.
"We made history in Harris County on November 6 by electing a talented group of individuals who reflect the people and communities we serve. That would not have been possible without the support of the residents of Harris County." said County Judge Lina Hidalgo, who was also sworn in on Tuesday.
