THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE: "VanDible Stallworth, 59, has worked as an adjunct professor at Bellhaven College and guest professor at DeVry University. She also served on the HCC board from 1989-1993. Her position as chaplain for Senate 13 District PAC also demonstrates a healthy ability to reflect the values of her community. While we've expressed a cautiousness about VanDible Stallworth's belief that the board should be more involved with reviewing contracts, her education and experience makes her the best candidate in this race."

LILLIE SCHECHTER AND DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

Democratic leaders are taking photos with Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth as Election Day approaches. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth has been seen recently with: Harris County Democratic Party Chair (Lillie Schechter), Texas Democratic Party Chair (Gilberto Hinojosa), Congresswoman for the 18th Congressional District of Texas (Sheila Jackson Lee), Congressman for the 9th Congressional District of Texas (Al Green), Mayor for the City of Houston (Sylvester Turner), State Representative for House District 141 (Senfronia Thompson), Harris County District Attorney (Kim Ogg), City of Houston Council Member (Larry Green – District K), City of Houston Council Member (Amanda Edwards – At-Large Position 4), and Harris County Attorney (Vince Ryan), just to name a few.

A MESSAGE FROM DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

















Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth recently asked for Houston Business Connections Magazine© to remind all HCC District IX voters that she is asking for the vote, prayers, and support of every registered voter who lives inside the HCC District IX boundaries without respect to their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, gender identity, or socio-economic status. And yes, she's going to need every vote she can get to win this race on Saturday, December 9, 2017. Anything is possible, but, Pretta VanDible Stallworth trailed her Republican rival, Eugene “Gene” Pack by roughly 349 votes back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election – and that’s a lot of votes considering the turnout is expected to be low on Saturday, December 9, 2017. So, in case you didn’t see the actual results, the Republican, Eugene “Gene” Pack finished with 3,522 votes for 42.18%; Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth (the only Democrat in the race) finished with 3,173 votes for 38.00%, and the other Republican, David Jaroszewski (who was endorsed by the Houston Chronicle) finished last with 1,654 votes for 19.81%. “The problem Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth faces is that she was actually running against not one, but two Republicans back in the General Election,” explains Taylor. “So nobody really knows if the Republican voters who supported David Jaroszewski will come back out to vote for Eugene Pack on Saturday, December 9, 2017,” he says. “If they do, this will put Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth at an even greater disadvantage without specific help from the Harris County Democratic Party.”

LILLIE SCHECHTER AND DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

Democratic leaders are taking photos with Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth as Election Day approaches. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth has been seen recently with: Harris County Democratic Party Chair (Lillie Schechter), Texas Democratic Party Chair (Gilberto Hinojosa), Congresswoman for the 18th Congressional District of Texas (Sheila Jackson Lee), Congressman for the 9th Congressional District of Texas (Al Green), Mayor for the City of Houston (Sylvester Turner), State Representative for House District 141 (Senfronia Thompson), Harris County District Attorney (Kim Ogg), City of Houston Council Member (Larry Green – District K), City of Houston Council Member (Amanda Edwards – At-Large Position 4), and Harris County Attorney (Vince Ryan), just to name a few.

A MESSAGE FROM DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

















Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth recently asked for Houston Business Connections Magazine© to remind all HCC District IX voters that she is asking for the vote, prayers, and support of every registered voter who lives inside the HCC District IX boundaries without respect to their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, gender identity, or socio-economic status. And yes, she's going to need every vote she can get to win this race on Saturday, December 9, 2017. Anything is possible, but, Pretta VanDible Stallworth trailed her Republican rival, Eugene “Gene” Pack by roughly 349 votes back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election – and that’s a lot of votes considering the turnout is expected to be low on Saturday, December 9, 2017. So, in case you didn’t see the actual results, the Republican, Eugene “Gene” Pack finished with 3,522 votes for 42.18%; Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth (the only Democrat in the race) finished with 3,173 votes for 38.00%, and the other Republican, David Jaroszewski (who was endorsed by the Houston Chronicle) finished last with 1,654 votes for 19.81%. “The problem Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth faces is that she was actually running against not one, but two Republicans back in the General Election,” explains Taylor. “So nobody really knows if the Republican voters who supported David Jaroszewski will come back out to vote for Eugene Pack on Saturday, December 9, 2017,” he says. “If they do, this will put Dr. Pretta VanDible Stallworth at an even greater disadvantage without specific help from the Harris County Democratic Party.”

OTHER KEY HOUSTON AREA RUNOFF RACES

Houstonians in other areas of the city will be casting ballots on Saturday, December 9, 2017, in the race between Elizabeth Santos and Gretchen Himsl for the HISD Board Trustee for District I seat. In another part of the city, Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez will do battle on Saturday, December 9, 2017, for the HISD Board Trustee for District III seat. SO LET’S GO!!!


Saturday, December 9, 2017, Runoff Election Race between Elizabeth Santos and Gretchen Himsl for HISD District I Analysis by Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of HBC Magazine©

RUNOFF RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “The runoff race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District I is difficult to analyze – partly because the voter participation was too low. However, one would think that Elizabeth Santos is sitting in the “catbird seat” heading into the runoff. I say this because, when you look at the fact that Elizabeth Santos finished more than 954 (nine hundred and fifty-four) votes ahead of Gretchen Himsl with another Hispanic female by the name of Monica Flores Richart in the race, conventional wisdom would say that the race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District I is Elizabeth Santos’ race to lose in a head-to-head showdown with Gretchen Himsl. But not so fast, Santos' biggest challenge will be to motivate her base to come back out and vote again in December. So don’t count Gretchen Himsl out! Remember, I told you guys in my “ELECTION DAY EDITION” of Houston Business Connections Magazine© to watch out for Gretchen Himsl – she’s a very strong candidate with a lot of passion. And I happen to like her chances. And above me liking her chances, my team and I actually discovered several different pathways Himsl could take to close the gap on Santos when we did our overview of this race. As a result, we believe that the best thing Himsl has working for her is what we perceive to be as voter apathy. Take a look at these numbers: only 9,768 of the 78,479 registered voters in Houston ISD Board Trustee District I even bothered to vote in the General Election. This voter apathy happens to afford Gretchen Himsl a window of opportunity to rally her base while reaching out to the more than 68,711 registered voters who stayed at home – at the same time. Can she pull out a win after trailing so heavily back in the General Election? Anything is possible -- But I’m just not sure! However, I guess the bigger question is whether (or not) Himsl is willing to do what it takes to court registered African American voters throughout the district between now and Election Day!!!"

Houston ISD Trustee, District III

Saturday, December 9, 2017, Runoff Election Race between Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez for HISD District III Analysis by Aubrey R. Taylor, Publisher of HBC Magazine©

RUNOFF RACE ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “The race for Houston ISD Board Trustee for District III between Sergio Lira and Jesse A. Rodriguez can be won by either candidate in December. This is perhaps the most evenly matched “Runoff Race” on the ballot. Back on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in the General Election there were four candidates in the race. Here’s how they finished: Jesse A. Rodriguez finished first to head the pack with 1,241 votes for 39.85% of the vote. Finishing second to force the runoff was Sergio Lira with 1,051 votes for 33.75% of the vote. Rodolfo (Rudy) Reyes finished third with 438 votes for 14.07% of the vote. And Carlos Perrett finished fourth with 384 votes for 12.33% of the vote. Trying to get voters in this district to turn back out will be a major challenge for both Lira and Rodriguez in this race. However, as I mentioned in the “ELECTION DAY EDITION” of Houston Business Connections Magazine© Sergio Lira is the candidate to watch in this race. Hey, this district has more than 55,222 registered voters, but only 3,504 chose to show up during the General Election – nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen in this one.”
