Get to know Angie

Angie Unger grew up between two worlds and built her own from both. She is a first-generation Texan, Hispanic and Polish — a “Polican” — raised by a single mother, she learned early how to stretch a dollar, carry responsibility, and keep showing up when life got hard.

Her connection to Hays County started long before she lived here. As a kid, she spent summers visiting family, swimming at Blue Hole, and falling for the rivers, hills, and small towns making this place feel different from the rest of Texas. Over a decade ago, she moved her own family to Precinct 4 for good.

Today Angie works as a REALTOR and small business owner. Throughout her career, she has managed complex budgets across local and international projects. This background shapes how she approaches county government: every dollar should be tracked, explained, and spent where residents feel the difference.

Her daughters attend local DSISD schools, and watching the district and nearby roads strain under fast growth pushed her toward public service long before she filed to run. During the pandemic, she founded a parent support network helping families navigate school closures and remote learning. She has organized bilingual voter outreach across the county, hosted community dialogue nights with local small businesses, and led mutual aid efforts when neighbors needed help fast.

Angie won the Democratic primary for Hays County Commissioner, Precinct 4 in March 2026 and now heads into the November general election. Her grandmother once told her a person only owns three things: their mind, their heart, and their word. Angie carries this lesson into the race. She isn't running to add a title to her name. She's running because Precinct 4 raised her family, and she wants the same for the families coming next.
