Attorney Jeralynn Manor Finds Herself One Step Away from Accomplishing Her Lifelong Dream of Becoming a Judge
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Attorney Jeralynn Manor and a host of other duly-qualified candidates are asking for your vote, on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. In case you don't know, at the age of 7-years old Jeralynn decided that she wanted to become a judge when she grew up. Now, her road to 2020 has not been easy; but this duly-qualified woman of color finds herself one step away from achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a judge. Jeralynn's life story is a true testament to the goodness, mercy, and grace of God! So, as November 3rd, draws nearer, let's keep people like Jeralynn Manor lifted up in prayer as God's plan for their life continues to unfold. Why? Well, running for public office isn't easy, and it takes a lot of courage for people to do it. And besides, with the current state of race relations in our nation, we need to make it our business to elect the best candidate available who values us, in every election. And make sure you pray for wisdom as you prepare to participate in what is unquestionably the most important election of our lifetime. Oh, and please remember, Proverbs 29:2, states, "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." Thus, it is vitally important that we put people over politics in this 2020 General Election! So, vote early -- but not often.

JERALYNN IS PLANNING TO PUT HER EXPERIENCE TO WORK
Jeralynn Manor was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother was a nurse, and her father, a career officer with the New Orleans Police Department. There he set the bar high for his daughter. He attained numerous awards and accommodations, including various achievements, such as becoming the first African American counter-sniper for the SWAT department and the first African American diver on the dive team. Manor’s hard work and high goal standards are certainly founded in her bloodline. Jeralynn Manor’s “service to all mankind” mantra and dedication to her craft is evidenced in her career achievements.
Jeralynn studied philosophy at Xavier University in New Orleans before finishing her undergraduate studies in Administration of Justice at Texas Southern University. She went on to Thurgood Marshall School of Law, where she earned the American Juris Prudence Award in Bankruptcy under the tutelage of the Honorable Justice Manual Leal of the Southern District of Texas Bankruptcy Court. Jeralynn also won 1st place in the Mock Trial competition. In 2001 she earned her Juris Doctorate and became a licensed attorney by the Texas Supreme Court. In her 18 plus years of practicing law, attorney Jeralynn Manor has worked in several areas. She concentrated her early career as a closing attorney for 3 major title companies. In this area of practice, Jeralynn played an integral role in helping thousands of Texans achieve the dream of home-ownership.
Jeralynn Manor currently practices in the areas of Personal Injury, Mass Tort, Civil Rights, Immigration and, Employment Law. Attorney Jeralynn Manor is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Texas Trial Lawyers Association, the Pro Bono College of the Texas State Bar, and a member of the Champions of Justice Society of the Texas Equal Access to Justice. Jeralynn is also an NAACP- Life Member and has been in leadership roles with Boy Scouts of America as Den Mother to her son’s pack. She is also on the board of directors of The Black Heritage Society/Original MLK Parade Foundation. Jeralynn Manor enjoys being a mother to her three children Taft (18), Rogdrick (14), and Brooklynn (8). Jeralynn Manor instills into her children the same values of hard work, dedication, service to all mankind, and love, passed on to her by her father, the late Sgt. Jerome M. Dupre.
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Please do not forget to remind all of your family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to vote early from Tues., October 13, 2020, to Fri., October 30, 2020. And don't forget that you can still cast your vote on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, if you can't vote early."
All Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers are Strongly Encouraged to Vote Our Slate on Tuesday, November 3, 2020
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
There won't be any straight-ticket voting in the state of Texas on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. So, the “2020 NON-PARTISAN ENDORSEMENTS” listed on this page for Harris County, Missouri City, Texas, and Pearland, Texas are being released for Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers to strongly consider between now and Election Day. To this end, please note that these endorsements are intended to serve as a guide to assist our “OPEN-MINDED READERS” in their quest to make an informed voting decision on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. So, if you're one of those people who is planning to waltz into the voting booth on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, and cast your ballot for every candidate who has a "D" or "R" in front of their name, this page was not created with you in mind. But was rather, created for "OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE" who love America and would like to see the "BEST-QUALIFIED CANDIDATES" with "OPEN-MINDS" placed into positions of authority throughout our nation. Why? Well, in case you haven't noticed, this is a crucial moment in the history of our great nation -- we're at a crossroads in these United States of America. Our constitution is under attack, race-relations are at an all-time low; and the very fabric of our nation is being torn asunder. That being said, please understand that no candidate is perfect, and these endorsements were decided upon by Houston Business Connections Newspaper© after consulting with (15) fifteen local attorneys who practice law in Houston, Texas along with consideration of the opinions offered to us by a select group of local leaders and politically astute individuals whom we respect. So, as you view the slate below, please understand, that in some of the races, there are “DUAL ENDORSEMENTS”, which simply mean that, a definitive decision was not reached on that race. And in other races where you see “NO ENDORSEMENT” offered, we are encouraging our "OPEN-MINDED READERS" to “HOLD-THEIR VOTE”, or research the candidates for themselves and cast their ballot for the candidate that best represents their interests, ideas, beliefs, and, concerns. Lastly, do not forget to cast your vote for Jerlaynn Manor in the race for District Judge, 80th Civil District Court, in Harris County. In case you don't know, at the age of 7-years old Jeralynn decided that she wanted to be a judge when she grew up. Now, her road to 2020 has not been easy; but this rising Democratic star finds herself on step away from achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a judge.

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Fort Bend ISD Trustee Kristin Tassin is being challenged by Dr. Shirley Rose-Guilliam in the FBISD Position #4 race. As a reminder, these two candidates faced off against each other back in 2017 in a close race -- but there was a third candidate, by the name of Rodrigo Carreon in that race. In case you don't remember, Dr. Shirley Rose-Gilliam gave Tassin all she could handle and would have forced her into a runoff -- if FBISD had runoff elections. Anyways, as a refresher, back in 2017, Kristin Tassin received 2,654 votes, for 49.35% of the vote. Dr. Shirley Rose-Gilliam received 2,227 votes, for 41.41% of the vote. And Rodrigo Carreon received 497 votes for 9.24% of the vote. So, please don't forget that Dr. Shirley Rose-Gilliam is asking for your vote in this race.

"Pearland is facing a historical Mayor election in November. I can't think of a better candidate than Kevin Cole to take on the role. He will focus on keeping the City safe, creating jobs, and tackling the budget. I fully endorse Kevin Cole for Mayor of Pearland," said Political Analyst Jacquie Baly. And the Houston Business Connections Newspaper© "ENDORSEMENT BOARD" couldn't agree more.
