AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "William "Bill" McLeod may have "THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE" for what we've seen happen at the polls through the first (2) two days of early voting for the Tuesday, May 22, 2018, Democratic Party Primary Runoff Elections in Harris County. As Republicans flocked to the polls in greater numbers than Democrats on Monday, May 14, 2018 (the first day of early voting) and again on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 (the second day of early voting) it's quickly becoming painfully obvious that "DOWN-BALLOT HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATS" may have to fend for themselves as they continue to march toward their "DATE WITH DESTINY" on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in the Midterm Elections. In case you don't already know, the second day (Tuesday, May 15, 2018) early voting "RUNOFF ELECTION" returns are in and here are the results: HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRIMARY: (2,693) Early in Person Voters and (669) Mail Ballots Returned on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. HARRIS COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY PRIMARY: (3,146) Early in Person Voters and (537) Mail Ballots Returned on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. YESTERDAY'S COMBINED TOTAL FOR HARRIS COUNTY DEMOCRATS: 3,362 total votes. YESTERDAY'S COMBINED TOTAL FOR HARRIS COUNTY REPUBLICANS: 3,686 total votes. With that said, I strongly encourage all "DOWN-BALLOT DEMOCRAT" out there who are looking for additional ways to "STRENGTHEN YOUR GROUND GAME" to look at (PAGE 2) of this edition of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© and check out my editorial about William "Bill" McLeod's "PRECINCT GROUND GAME" events that are coming up. And if for some strange reason you haven't already signed up to take part in William "Bill" McLeod's "PRECINCT GROUND GAME" events, I would like to take this moment to encourage you to do so immediately." * The comments on this page are those of Aubrey R.

If you’ve never heard of William “Bill” McLeod before – now you have! This 2018 Democratic candidate running for Harris County Civil Court at Law #4 is a man on a mission. Sure, he wants to become a judge, but that’s not what has caught my attention and has caused Bill to stick out in my mind – it’s the vision he’s conceptualized that’s geared at providing an organized way for Precinct Chairs, Captains, Community Leaders, Activist, Volunteers, and Candidates to meet, engage, mobilize, and work together for positive change. His goal is lofty but achievable. And the great news for Bill is that it’s already starting to catch on in Harris County, Texas.
MAKING CHANGE FROM THE BOTTOM UP
Bill a proud Democrat, who at first glance just appears to be running a conventional campaign. BUT when I dug into his story his campaign is being built on volunteerism, activism and connecting all of the ground players together, which has a much greater upside. Bill is not just running for a judicial bench that covers all of Harris County. In my opinion, Bill is transforming the process and the importance of the ground game, mobilizing Precinct Chairs, Volunteers and Activists in our communities to be up front and center working together. In my opinion, these groups are the ones who are making victories possible. Bill is not just building teams throughout Harris County to move voters to the polls he is building an army of Democrats, who will be transformed into Generational Voters.
WILLIAM “Bill” MCLEOD 2018 AND BEYOND...
Bill is not looking in any rear-view mirror to see how Harris County Polities works. He is full steam ahead with his skilled volunteer team focused on 2018. They have scheduled (9) nine “PRECINCT GROUND GAME” #PGG, EVENTS all across Harris County scheduled to happen before the 2018 General Election, on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. Imagine being afforded the opportunity to spend (5) hours with this workforce nine times across Harris County, who are making the difference at the polls! In my opinion, the opportunity to build and cultivate lasting relationships that will empower an “army” of people to get out into the streets, door knocking across Harris County bringing information to thousands of Democratic homes that are craving for knowledge, that will be quenched by a door hanging bag. Now imagine, the pride these “EMPOWERED VOLUNTEERS” are going to experience as they see their fruits of the Labor realized at the PGG watch party on ELECTION NIGHT, Tuesday, Nov 6, 2018.
