The battle for Judge, County Criminal Court at Law No. 9 between Attorney Toria J. Finch and Attorney John Wakefield Will Take Place on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, in Harris County
ANALYSIS BY AUBREY R. TAYLOR
In case you don’t already know, Judge Analia Wilkerson, the current presiding judge for Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 9 decided to not seek re-election back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Primary in Harris County, Texas. Judge Wilkerson’s absence on the ballot in the upcoming Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Midterm Election has set the stage for a showdown between John Wakefield, the Republican nominee, and Toria J. Finch, the Democrat nominee in the race for the 9th Criminal Court at Law in Harris County, Texas.
TWO DULY-QUALIFIED ATTORNEYS
Toria J. Finch is a former Harris County Felony Prosecutor, and current Criminal Defense Attorney who is Board Certified in Juvenile Law. And John Wakefield is a career prosecutor, who is also board certified in the area of criminal law. Wakefield also happens to be a licensed peace officer who has dedicated his life to public service.
MEET JOHN WAKEFIELD
According to his website, during the fall of his senior year at Purdue University, Wakefield watched with the rest of the world as the attacks of 9/11 unfolded. Upon witnessing the horror of that day, Wakefield decided right then and there to pursue a life of public service to Americans. However, due to a medical condition, he was disqualified from enlisting in the military and ultimately decided to contribute to our nation by becoming an Assistant District Attorney. Now, according to his website, Wakefield seeks to continue his commitment to public service by seeking to become the next judge of Harris County Criminal Court at Law No. 9 – the seat currently held by his fellow Republican.
STRICTLY BY THE NUMBERS
Who will win this race? Well, for John Wakefield to emerge successful on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, he’s going to have to get past Toria J. Finch, the Democrat nominee who could very-well easily be considered to be the front-runner heading into their Midterm Election showdown. How can I say this? Well, neither of the two, (Wakefield or Finch) drew opponents back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, in their respective party primaries. However, there are still a few takeaways that speak to the areas of strength for each candidate. A LOOK BACK AT THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS: John Wakefield received (18,609) absentee votes, and Toria J. Finch received (18,711) absentee votes – so Toria J. Finch has demonstrated that she can beat John Wakefield in this category. A LOOK BACK AT THE EARLY VOTING NUMBERS: John Wakefield received (44,101) early votes, and Toria J. Finch received (54,348) early votes – so Toria J. Finch has also demonstrated that she can beat Wakefield during the early voting period. A LOOK BACK AT THE ELECTION DAY VOTING NUMBERS: John Wakefield received (48,875) Election Day votes, and Toria J. Finch received (56,863) Election Day votes to demonstrate that she can also beat John Wakefield in turning out votes on Election Day!
TALE OF THE TAPE
Based on her stellar Democratic Party Primary showing alone, it would not be a stretch to label Toria J. Finch, the Democrat as the front-runner in this race based on the fact that she received (129,922) total votes back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Democratic Party Primary for Harris County. By comparison, John Wakefield, the Republican received 111,585 total votes in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Party Primary for Harris County. But that’s not all, you must also keep in mind that 44,802 Republican Primary voters chose to either not cast a ballot for John Wakefield, or simply skipped over his race for one reason or another. But to be fair, Toria J. Finch also had a large number of Democratic Primary voters to skip over her race on the ballot as well – triggering 38,060 undervotes – which could mean that voters either chose to not cast a ballot or simply skipped over a particular race altogether while casting their ballot.
TOO CLOSE TO CALL
Neither, John Wakefield or Toria J. Finch can be considered the clear front-runner at this time – so I will do a recap of this race sometime before the start of early voting which begins on Monday, October 22, 2018, and ends on Friday, November 2, 2018.
2,249,591 REGISTERED VOTERS
The voter turnout wasn’t large enough for me to say with complete certainty what’s going to happen on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. But please keep in mind that according to the Harris County Clerk’s Office there are over 2,249,591 registered voters living in Harris County, Texas. With that number in mind, we only heard the voices of 167,982 Democrats, and 156,387 Republicans speak up back on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 – so who knows what’s going to happen when the big boys come to play?

Governor Greg Abbott is the incumbent Republican running for re-election in the Tuesday, November 6, 2018, Gubernatorial Election.

The total number of Democrat voters who cast ballots back in the Democratic Primary was 1,022,558 statewide. Comparatively speaking, 1,549,006 ballots were cast back in the Tuesday, March 6, 2018, Republican Primary according to numbers posted by the Texas Secretary of State. But keep in mind that Texas had more than 15,249,541 (yes, that's fifteen million) registered voters on the books and a population of more than 19,900,980 people above the legal age to vote at the time that the 2018 Democratic Primary Election took place. Those are staggering numbers considering only, a little over a million voters actually cast ballots (statewide) in the Democratic Primary back in March. So, relatively speaking, Tuesday, November 6, 2018, should be more about whether (THE DEMOCRATS) or (THE REPUBLICANS) will inspire more voters to go to the polls to cast a ballot -- rather than which party rules Texas.
