Harris County Precinct 3

Commissioner Tom Ramsey was elected to serve as County Commissioner for Harris County Precinct 3 in November of 2020. His office is responsible for maintaining approximately 75% of all unincorporated Harris County. This includes nearly 6,800 lanes miles of roadway, 72 parks, and 10 Community and Nature Centers. Commissioner Ramsey's Engineering team currently manages approximately $730M worth of infrastructure projects.

With over 44 years of experience as a Professional Engineer serving more than 50 cities and 20 counties in Texas, this award-winning civil engineer turned public servant has a long track record of improving the safety, infrastructure, livability, and financial health of the communities he serves.

As Mayor of Spring Valley Village from 2012-2020, Ramsey reduced the city's tax rate by 21%, and oversaw Spring Valley's climb to becoming the safest neighborhood in Harris County, according to FBI statistics. He was awarded Public Official of the Year by the University of Houston in 2017, named Engineer of the Year by Houston Area Engineering Societies in 2023, received the Distinguished Graduate Award from Zachry Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University in 2023, and named Public Official of the Year by ASCE national in 2024.

Now as County Commissioner, Ramsey continues to prioritize safer neighborhoods, lowering taxes, and improving infrastructure. In 2022, he launched a Crime Task Force, comprised of over a dozen law enforcement agencies from County and City jurisdictions, to combat rising crime. He also led the creation of the Safe Schools Commission, which was unanimously approved by all five Commissioners Court members, to support school safety. He also carried the torch in obtaining $750M for Harris County from the Texas General Land Office for Hurricane Harvey recovery. Lastly, Ramsey served an integral role in setting the most significant tax revenue decrease, saving taxpayers a quarter-billion dollars.

Outside of him serving the public as Commissioner, Ramsey’s strong faith drives his work at Second Baptist Houston, where he serves as a deacon and teaches two bible study classes.

Ramsey is a native of Crockett, Texas, a resident of Harris County for over 35 years, and a graduate of Texas A & M University with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He and his wife, Marsha, have three children and seven grandchildren.
