TL;DR Summary

Former prosecutor Sean Teare unseated Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg in the primary race, gaining steam as Ogg faced criticism from within her own party. Teare, who led in early and mail-in votes, will face Houston attorney Dan Simons, the lone Republican candidate, in the November general election. Ogg, who conceded the race, faced flak for reneging on criminal justice reform promises and mishandling investigations. Teare's campaign was well-funded and had the backing of prominent Democrats, ultimately leading to his victory.
