AUBREY R. TAYLOR: “Have you seen the article that was published in the Texas Tribune a few days ago? 'Texas Democrats rely on voters of color to be competitive. So why are their top statewide candidates mostly white?' If not, (CLICK HERE) to get a better understanding of why I believe Texas Democrats are heading in the wrong direction right now."
Democrats Had Better Diversify the Top of Their Ticket Or Prepare to Suffer Substantial Losses Up and Down the Ballot in the 2022 Midterm Election
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
I'm not sure what's going on in the heads of the Texas Democratic Party' top brass right now. If you ask me, nominating former U.S. Congressman Beto O'Rourke is going to come back to haunt Democrats at the ballot box in the 2022 Midterm Elections. Nope!!! I am not joking around, or playing games right now. While Beto has more money, notoriety, and "NAME IDENTIFICATION" the Deirdre Gilbert right now, he's actually not going to match up well against Governor Greg Abbott in a the general election. LOOK!!! According to a poll that was a Dallas Morning News-University of Texas at Tyler poll released last Sunday, former Congressman Beto O'Rourke, is running six percentage points behind Gov. Greg Abbott in a direct matchup. And Matthew McConaughey, also would be an underdog against Gov. Greg Abbott, if he were to enter the race. You can (CLICK HERE) to check out the poll for yourself.
NO MATCH FOR ABBOTT
Why is Beto no match for Governor Abbott? Well, for starters, Beto O'Rourke won't have as much money in the bank as Governor Abbott, if the two were to meet next fall. And on top of that, African Americans, are beginning to open their eyes to the fact, that Blacks candidates running for statewide offices are being treated much differently than Democrats from other ethnic groups. But you don't have to take my word for it. In short, even Odus Evbagharu, the Chairman of the Harris County Democratic Party, is sounding the alarms right about now. According to Odus, "In order to build a stronger and more effective party, we need to invest in communities and run candidates who reflect the communities they would represent. Diversity is not a liability; in fact, it makes us stronger."
A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
Windows of opportunity open and close. I am going to say that again for all of the people who are way in the back – WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY OPEN AND CLOSE! Now, I've been sitting back watching Deirdre Gilbert get disrespected, shunned, devalued, belittled, and outright ignored by the local media, the Texas Democratic Party, and even a whole bunch of Black folks. Why? Well, because many of them are hoping and praying for former Congressman Beto O’Rourke to win the Democratic nomination in the race for Governor so that they can make a lot of money."
SELLOUT BLACK FOLKS
It's becoming more and more prevalent with each passing day, that as a group of people, we're devoid of true leadership in the Black community. As a voting block, we continue to elect the same folks to public office over and and over again. And at the end of the day, these people continue to sell us out over and over again with impunity because of the color of their skin. So, that being said, we must endeavor to elevate people to positions of authority in 2022, 2023, and 2024, who truly value, respect, and who are not afraid to speak truth to power and go to bat for us as a body of people. Now, in my opinion, what so-called Black leaders like State Rep. Ron Reynolds, and Cynthia M. Ginyard, chairwoman of the Fort Bend County Democratic Party are doing is shameful. These two, claim to be on the frontlines fighting for my people, but they are part of the problem -- If you ask me. What am I talking about? Well, we currently have two Black gubernatorial candidates seeking the Democratic nomination (Deirdre Gilbert) and (Michael Cooper), and these so-called Black leaders aren't doing anything to make sure that the two duly-qualified Black gubernatorial candidates are given the same exposure as former U.S. Congressman Beto O'Rourke, in the gubernatorial race. So, how are these two so-called Black leaders fighting for our people?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "I'm not sure why we have sitting Black elected officials like State Rep. Ron Reynolds (HD-27), in Fort Bend County, and Cynthia M. Ginyard, chairwoman of the Fort Bend County Democratic Party, promoting one Democrat over another duly-qualified Democrat. Especially when these two so-called Black leaders are fully aware of the fact that there are two duly-qualified Black gubernatorial candidates running for Governor of Texas on Super Tuesday, in the Democratic Party primary."
ODUS EVBAGHARU: "As chair of the Harris County Democratic Party, I'm committed to supporting and elevating candidates of color — and I refuse to shy away from issues of diversity."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "I received the email you see above from Odus Evbagharu, chair of the Harris County Democratic Party several days ago. That being said, I don't always agree with Odus Evbagharu. However, I believe he's right, on several points he made in the email, "We need to look at that and need to do an introspection as to why there's a lack of diversity at the top of the ticket. We need to do better. We've gotta cultivate the bench," he said."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "It would be awesome to see the Texas Democratic Party fully embrace this duly-qualified African American woman. Why? Well, Deirdre Gilbert is one of those "ONCE IN A LIFETIME CANDIDATES" who is uniquely prepared to reach well beyond the Democratic base in the upcoming 2022 Gubernatorial Election if she can get a fair shake in the media."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "As it stands right now, Deirdre Gilbert is the front-runner in the race for Governor of Texas on the Democratic Party side in my opinion. And with the filing date of Monday, December 13, 2021, quickly approaching, Democrats should put their support and money behind this duly-qualified African American woman."
DEIRDRE GILBERT IS THE KIND OF CANDIDATE DEMOCRATS SHOULD RALLY AROUND
Deirdre Gilbert has earned her M.A. in Educational Administration, her B.S. in Political Science and Mass Communication (Cum Laude) from Prairie View A&M University; she is a native Houstonian, a graduate of the public school system attending elementary, middle and high school graduating from Madison high. Deirdre has resided in Harris County for over 40 years before settling in Fort Bend County for over 10 years. Deirdre is an educator with 26 years of experience working in Houston, Aldine, and Fort Bend School Districts and is a former Houston Independent School District teacher’s union representative.
Her mother was a key influence in her life. She was a community activist and the first black woman to run for Constable in Harris County. Deirdre is best known in the community and around the country for her fight, both personally and publicly, for justice for those of medical negligence. After losing her only child, Jocelyn, because of medical negligence, Deirdre confronted the medical community and the state agencies that support it. She stood not only for herself and in memory of her daughter, but on behalf of people around the state and across the country who have felt powerless in the wake of such devastating loss.
Deirdre has worked tirelessly in her own community of Sienna Plantation, further, she’s worked on issues such as denial of voting rights in local elections within Missouri City, and MUD District issues. She has spoken before the Texas Legislature and U.S. Congress in Washington D.C on civil rights. Deirdre has helped to shape legislation regarding whistleblowers, medical malpractice, and education. Deirdre is not afraid of a battle and is willing to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. In addition to helping those in her community, state, local and national, she also works for a non-profit that help veterans find employment.
Deirdre has been capturing the attention of media nationally for some time. In 2007, she released her first book entitled, “Can I Just Have a Little Bit? A Little Bit of What?” Her recent work, “Momma Help Me Please,” was inspired by the first love of her life, her daughter Jocelyn.
Deirdre is an avid speaker at book clubs, churches, professional, civic and community organizations.
She has been featured in Beautifully Said Magazine and African American Newspaper; mentioned in Harper’s Magazine by Ralph Nader a strong advocate for justice, received professional recognition in Women on the Move section of the Houston Business Journal, featured in Bronze Magazine several times and in Saved Magazine along with other powerful women in ministry such as Joyce Meyers. Deirdre was mentioned in Washington Post, Stat News and several online publications regarding her stance on medical malpractice. This journey has led to the first Blog Talk Show “Life” Radio Show that focused on “victims” of medical malpractice and then rebranded with another show called “Med/Mal Radio Show-What’s Your Verdict and just recently Malpractice Diaries-MD –We Tell the Secrets they Keep.
Since 2011, Deirdre Gilbert has not backed down from her challenges, founding non-profits such as the National Medical Malpractice Advocacy Association (NMMAA), serving as its National Director, and Executive Director of the Jocelyn Y. Dickson Foundation. NMMAA is a non-partisan educational organization that was created to promote transparency, accountability and integrity in the medical profession. Through NMMAA’s educational endeavor, she advocates high standards of ethics and morality to ensure non-abuse of the powers entrusted to the profession by the American people. Under her direction, these non-profits have gained support from members of Congress, garnered attention and recognition among state lawmakers, and sparked open dialogue and inquiry into medical negligence. With her husband of 7 years, Mr. Kurt E. Gilbert, beside her, she has spoken boldly before Medical Boards, Government Agencies, the State Legislature, and the US Congress calling for repeal of TORT Reforms, review of the Information Act as it relates to medical doctors, greater accountability in the hospital industry, and Justice for All who fall victim to healthcare abuse. The core of her message is consistent, Justice for All.
Deirdre achieved a milestone twice, first when she was asked to speak at the Whistleblower’s Summit in Washington, DC 2016 and again in 2019 when she provided testimony at the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings about the devastating effects of medical malpractice. She has spearheaded the nation’s 1st Medical Malpractice Conference that convened medical professionals, attorneys, civil rights leaders, social justice organizations, patient safety advocates and legislative leaders. Her third milestone was when she threw her hat in the political ring and decided to run for Justice of the Peace, Pct. 2, Fort Bend County, TX. Deirdre assisted with having H.R. 614 resolution filed in the Texas Legislature, recognizing Medical Malpractice in the State of Texas. In addition, Deirdre created a new initiative, “The Medical Malpractice Right to Justice Project’s mission to assist those harmed by medical negligence and who’s cases was never heard in a court of law, to bring these cases before a court based on evidence ranging from misstated/understated or erroneous death certificates, misstated/understated/overstated or erroneous expert reports, altered or falsified medical records, existence of individual, hospital, physician, and institutional agencies conflict of interest.
Deirdre Gilbert was instrumental in getting the 1st proclamation in 2013 recognizing July as Medical Malpractice Month. Since then, the organization has been given recognition from the State of Missouri’s Governor Jeremiah W. Nixon, the State of Colorado’s Governor John Hickenlooper, and the State of Georgia’s Governor Nathan Deal. The organization have also received several congressional, state and local recognition. Deirdre created the first PSA that aired on Harkins movie screens across the states September 2016, promoting and educating the public on “Preventable Medical Mistakes.” In 2019 NMMAA received the 1st Enrolled House Resolution 86 (R) HR 614 by the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas Legislature recognizing July as Medical Malpractice Month.
Deirdre Gilbert was vital in the creation of the first chapter of attorneys in the State of Louisiana and Virginia that have acquired lobbyist that handles the legislative needs of NMMAA. The lobbying action is geared towards bill drafting and legislative reform to help those harmed by egregious acts from medical malpractice.
Deirdre has worked tirelessly with The Government Accountability Project, The Black Heritage Society, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice, Make It Safe Campaign, The National Association for Probate Reform & Advocacy, NAACP-Health Chair Committee Missouri City Chapter, NAACP-Fort Bend-Wharton Chapter, National Action Network to create the first medical malpractice health initiative, National Congress of Black Women, State of Texas Sunset Advisory Committee.
“Freedoms are FREE, Respect is EARNED, and Accountability is DEMANDED. None of these are easy to obtain, but necessary.”

AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "On Monday, December 13, 2021, we're going to find out exactly how many opponents Governor Greg Abbott will have to fend off on "SUPER TUESDAY" in Texas. Currently Deirdre Gilbert appears to be the front-runner for the Democratic nomination."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "I don't know how much of a shot Allen West has when it come to taking down Governor Abbott on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the upcoming Republican Party Primary in Texas. However, he's in the race, and he's duly-qualified to serve as the next Governor of Texas. So anything is possible for those who believe -- right?"
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "The guy you see pictured above is Danny Harrison and he's one of the Republican candidates who is hoping to unseat Governor Greg Abbot on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the Republican Party Primary in Texas."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "In case you don't know him, the guy pictured above is Donald Huffines, and he's another one of the Republican candidates who will be trying to unseat Governor Abbott on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the upcoming Republican Party Primary in Texas."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "The guy you see pictured above is Larry Baggett, and he's one of the Democratic candidates vying for a chance to face off against Governor Greg Abbott in the upcoming 2022 Gubernatorial Election. However, before he can face off against Governor Abbott he must first get past Deirdre Gilbert on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the upcoming Democratic Party Primary in Texas."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Have you seen this dude before? Well, his name is Michael Cooper, and he's one of the Democratic candidates vying for a chance to face off against Governor Greg Abbott in the upcoming 2022 Gubernatorial Election. However, before he can face off against Governor Abbott he must first get past Deirdre Gilbert on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the upcoming Democratic Party Primary in Texas."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "I totally agree with this dude!!! We need "FREEDOM OVER FEAR" during these trying times we're facing as a nation. Now, in case you don't know him, the guy pictured above is Chad Prather, and he's one of the Republican candidates who will be trying to unseat Governor Abbott on "SUPER TUESDAY" in the upcoming Republican Party Primary in Texas."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Please don't forget that the upcoming runoff election to decide the HISD School Board races will take place on Saturday, December 11, 2021. So, just for the record, the early voting period will begin on Monday, November 29, 2021, and end on Tuesday, December 7, 2021."
AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "Every warm-blooded American residing inside of HISD District I, HISD District V, HISD District VI, and HISD District VII, strongly encouraged to cast your vote for Janette Garza Lindner in the runoff race for HISD District I, Caroline Walter in the runoff race for District V, Dr. Kendall Baker in the runoff race for District VI, and Bridget Wade in the runoff race for District VII, on Saturday, December 11, 2021. Now, that being said, I can't find any logical reason why any Democratic voter, Republican voter, Independent voter, Libertarian voter, or Green Party voter would want to cast their ballot for any of the four incumbent HISD Trustees who are in the fight of their political lives right now."
