Early Voting Numbers on the Rise in Houston; Carla Brailey Stands Out in Crowded Field of Houston City Council District D Candidates


Dr. Carla Brailey has received the blessing of Pastor Bill Lawson, a civil rights icon in the race for Houston City Council District D. On top of receiving the blessing and support of Pastor Lawson, she's also been endorsed by Giberto Hinojosa, Chair of the Texas Democratic Party in the Houston City Council District D race. The race for Houston City Council District D will be determined by African American voters for the most part; but trying to choose between Carla Brailey, Jerome Provost, Ken Moore, Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, T. "Nissi" Hamilton, Mike Grissom, Travis McGee, Brad "Scarface" Jordan, Dontrell L. Montgomery, Anthony Kirk Allen, Dennis Griffin, Rashad Cave, Terrill D. Thomas, Marlon A. Christian, and Andrew C. Burks, Jr. has many in this predominantly African American district scratching their heads. 

The Early Voting Numbers are Beginning to Pick Up as the Early Voting Period Comes to a Close; Brailey Intensifies Effort to Woo Voters

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

The number of overall voters is increasing, and the number of African American voters showing up at the polls is also beginning to spike as the early voting period prepares to come to a close on Friday, November 1, 2019. In case you haven't been keeping up with the daily turnout numbers I will do a quick recap of what has transpired so far. On the first day of early voting, a total of 7,973 early voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the second day of early voting, a total of 9,314 early voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the third day of early voting, a total of 8,919 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the fourth day of early voting, a total of 9,261 early voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the fifth day of early voting, a total of 8,777 early voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the sixth day of early voting, a total of  7,864 early voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the seventh day of early voting, a total of 3,829 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. On the eighth day of early voting, a total of 10,318 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. And on the ninth day of early voting, a total of 10,358 voters showed up to cast their ballot in person. So, all total, through the first nine days of early voting 76,613 Houstonians have gone to the polls to cast their ballot in person. What about the "ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOTS" returned? I'm glad you asked. As of today, a total of 11,356 "ABSENTEE MAIL BALLOTS" have been returned to the Harris County Clerk's Office.

DR. BRAILEY WANTS YOUR VOTE

I haven't known Dr. Carla Brailey for all of my life or anything like that. I actually met her back during the 2018 Midterm Election cycle when she was crisscrossing and making moves in Harris County, Texas and other parts of the region doing her very best to make sure that "DULY-QUALIFIED" Democrats were elected in her capacity as Vice-Chair of the Texas Democratic Party. Her efforts and the efforts of many other hardworking Democrats were commendable and effective as Democrats swept through Harris County during an election cycle that many were expecting to favor Republicans. So, in essence, this hardworking life-long Democrat is a rising star in the Democratic Party. Now, while I've been studying politics for almost thirty years, I have never run across anyone with the energy, compassion, wisdom, and understanding of politics possessed by Dr. Carla Brailey. So, just so you know, as a body, Houston Business Connections Newspaper no longer issues outright endorsements, but you can rest assured, that if we did, I truly believe in my heart, that Dr. Carla Brailey would have been overwhelmingly endorsed by the vast majority of the members our readership board. With that said, please know that Dr. Carla Brailey is one of the only candidates running for Houston City Council District D, who values, respects, appreciates, and desires to have the vote of every Houston City Council District D voter on Tuesday, November 5, 2019.



DR. BRAILEY IS AN ADVOCATE

Dr. Carla D. Brailey is a candidate for Houston City Council District D, which is a district open seat for the November 5, 2019, municipal election. She is a political advocate, educational consultant, assistant professor of sociology at Texas Southern University, Vice-Chair of the Texas Democratic Party, and a proud mother.

DR. BRAILEY IS OUTSTANDING

An outstanding visionary and innovator, Dr. Brailey has played a pivotal role in establishing the framework and foundation for long-term success in educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. Throughout her career, she has been repeatedly sought out as a consultant and subject matter expert for community, political and educational institutions such as Mayor Sylvester Turner’s Transition Team, Sankofa Research Institute, Project Rowhouses, the Imani School, Harmony Science Academy, Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University, judicial campaigns, and various small businesses and corporations. While serving in Mayor Fenty’s administration of Washington, DC, Carla was tapped to lead DC’s Office of Community Affairs, managing a $3 million budget, serving as the mayor’s liaison for the 2010 Census, and overseeing nine community relations and constituent services offices in the nation’s capital. Dr. Brailey is often called upon to address concerns related to social justice, diversity and inclusion, Black women and empowerment, strategic management, organizational development, staff training, curriculum planning, and program creation.

HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© WILL NO LONGER BE ENDORSING ANY POLITICAL CANDIDATES 


While Houston Business Connections Newspaper© held it's own in the endorsement game, we will not be issuing any endorsements (as a body) going forward. Instead of endorsing candidates, we now focus our efforts on assisting our "non-partisan" reader-base with identifying candidates running for office who value the vote, prayers, and support of every warm-blooded American.


HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© IS A TRUSTED NON-PARTISAN BRANDING AND MOBILIZATION TOOL

In case you don’t remember, in a head-to-head “ENDORSEMENT SHOWDOWN” candidates endorsed by a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers performed significantly better than those endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board back in the Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Presidential Election as Democrats rolled to historic countywide victories over their Republicans counterparts in what, at the time, was the worst defeat ever for the Harris County Republican Party in its 71-year history.


HOUSTON BUSINESS CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER© READERS SUPPORT CANDIDATES WHO VALUE THEIR VOTE

As a refresher, there were sixty-seven (67) races where a “select group” of Houston Business Connections Newspaper© readers went head-to-head against the Houston Chronicle editorial board. Fifty-one (51) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper© (in the head-to-head contest) back in the 2016 Presidential Election won their respective races on election night. By contrast, only thirty-eight (38) of the sixty-seven (67) candidates endorsed by the Houston Chronicle editorial board (in these key races) won their respective races back on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, in the Presidential Election as it relates specifically to Harris County, Texas.

*Publishing of this "BLOG POST" was made possible in part by Kendall Baker a 2015 Candidate for Houston City Council District F in the Tuesday, November 3, 2015 City of Houston Mayoral Election.



PLEASE STAND WITH ME!



DEAR HOUSTONIANS:

Hello, my name is Kendall L. Baker, a native Houstonian, originally from the northeast side. I am a candidate for City Council District F in the 2015 City of Houston elections. First and foremost, I love my city; particularly District F, where I've resided for nearly 25 years and where I’ve pastored a church for over 10 years now. I was employed with the City of Houston for almost 29 years servicing citizens directly in 911 Emergency, Public Works and Engineering, Consumer Affairs Division and as Division Manager of the new improved 311 Help and Information Center. My excellent performance ratings and perfect attendance gave me the ability to see inside the core of what makes the City of Houston work and what doesn’t. Unfortunately, one thing I know for sure is that most of District F (Alief, Tanglewilde, Royal Oaks, Weshchase, Westwood, Briar Meadow, etc.) residents are underrepresented. Why? I'm glad you asked. 

District F needs and deserves a candidate who can effectively communicate the needs of the entire district. My experience has equipped me to know every inch of District F extremely well, as well as the entire city. My motto is, "No constituent left behind!" My first task is to make sure our police department has adequate resources and personnel to provide better security in District F. Public safety overall includes improving the infrastructure by making sure roads are safe, by addressing our enormous pothole problem and broken streets. District F streets are broken in part by the underlying deteriorating water and sewer lines. I vow to immediately correct and improve these conditions as your next Councilman.

Second, I stand for “equality” but not “special rights!” Our current Mayor, Annise Parker, is calling for Equal Rights which are in fact particularly and especially designed, aimed, and intended for the LGBT community who wants to implement policy that will threaten religious freedom and criminalize those who stand for the protection of women and children. This ordinance gives men access to women's restrooms and other public accommodations. As your Councilman I'm against this type of ordinance and I will protect religious freedom, family values, women, children and citizens in general.

Third, the key to any city’s financial security is economic development that will attract and incentivize corporations to relocate to Houston and provide more jobs! I pledge to ensure that we do that; especially improving economic development, increasing jobs, building better infrastructure in District F!

Fourth, our city must keep a disciplined fiscal accountability, bringing all debt under control, including the infamous pension fund; controlling unnecessary spending, and ceasing the present Administration’s “kick the debt down the road” mentality. This includes revisiting how we allocate funding to districts based on the actual prioritized needs of districts, not “under the table bargaining” to get a favor from the Mayor. This is why I will also support a Charter change that will allow council members to place items on the agenda, not just the mayor only. In addition, I will address other divisive issues including but not limited to the drainage fee and the feeding ordinance. I will protect, promote, advance, and fight for District F!

Houston, it's time for us to be reunited again and this can be made possible by your vote this November. Please vote for Dr. Kendall L. Baker for District F because I truly care about Houston!

Sincerely,
Dr. Kendall L. Baker for City Council District F. Offers a refreshing change by an experienced candidate for all of District F. Call 832-858-4831 or email us at kendall.baker@sbcglobal.net.
