RUN FOR SOMETHING: Davis Mendoza Darusman for Harris County Justice, Precinct 5, Place 2

I am Davis Mendoza Darusman. I grew up in West Harris County (Katy, TX) as the son of immigrants and the first in my family to graduate from college. This is the community where I learned the value of stability, accountability, and fairness, principles that guide my public service.

I’ve been civically engaged since I first registered to vote at 18, when I was elected as a delegate to the 2016 Texas and Democratic National Conventions. Since then, I have remained committed to strengthening public institutions and increasing access to civic participation.

My professional background is in organizational leadership and public policy, with a focus on how courts, nonprofits, and public-facing institutions operate in practice. I am trained in organizational communications and law, values, and policy, and I have spent my career applying that knowledge to improve systems, clarify processes, and support responsible decision-making.

I have worked closely with Houston-area nonprofit organizations in administrative and leadership capacities, helping secure more than $1 million in grant funding and improve capacity, effectiveness, and service delivery. My work has required managing budgets, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring that organizations meet both legal and ethical obligations.

I have helped establish and lead collaborative nonprofit coalitions, bringing organizations together to reduce duplication, share resources, and better serve the public. In parallel, I serve in leadership roles supporting fundraising and long-term sustainability for community institutions.

As an advocate, I have helped my community promote local control in the face of state overreach and attacks on individual liberty.

In addition to my nonprofit work, I am a small business owner. I run Houston Unscripted Productions, an award-winning media and event production company, where I oversee contracts, personnel, operations, and financial management. This experience has reinforced the importance of clear rules, predictable processes, and fair outcomes.

Across my career, I have focused on institutional responsibility, access to information, and the fair administration of systems that affect people’s daily lives. As Justice of the Peace, I will bring that same commitment to ensuring the court operates justly, efficiently, transparently, and with respect for every person who enters it.
