Tom Ramsey

Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3

Kingwood Area Republican Woman would like to thank Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3, Tom Ramsey for being our Top Sponsor for our biennial fundraiser Texas Roundup - A Celebration of Texas Independence Day. In the weeks leading up to our event on March 2, we will be showcasing our sponsors with FIVE FUN QUESTIONS.

“Providing consulting engineering services for 50 Cities and 20 Counties in Texas you see first hand government in action.”

How many miles does Harris County cover and how large is our constituency?

Precinct 3 spans as far west as Cypress - as far north as Tomball and Huffman - as Far East as Crosby and as far south as the Memorial Villages. It includes approximately 47% of all unincorporated Harris County, 6,750 lane miles of roadway, 70 parks, 10 Community and Nature Centers, and 8 hike and bike trails, including the nation’s longest urban-forested corridor - the Spring Creek Greenway. There are approximately 1.2 million residents in Pct. 3.

Astros or Texans?

That’s kind of like saying, “which kid do I love the most?”. I’ve been an Astros fan since my father took me to games in the Astrodome when I was growing up. The Texans, the baby of our Houston sports family, are making us proud as they grow up and mature into the team we know they can be. I’m just glad that I don’t have to feed them.

How did you meet your wife?

Marsha and I met on a Blind Date in Palestine, Texas in 1971.

City life or Country life?

The best part of where we live is - both! I enjoy a good fishing trip as much as the next person and there’s lots of parks and areas to do that and go walking and all the rest just outside of the city where I live where I get to enjoy fine dining, and theater and a community that takes care of one another.

What made you decide to get into politics?

Providing consulting engineering services for 50 Cities and 20 Counties in Texas you see first hand government in action. This led to me entering politics.
