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."
HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR LILLIE SCHECHTER AND DR. PRETTA VANDIBLE STALLWORTH

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.
CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT A SPECIAL 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.”
"Don't forget that Election Day voting on Saturday, December 9, 2017 could be very close in the Runoff Election for HCC Trustee for District IX. So every vote will count!!!"
